    I might add that I may well be one who loses my gig due to the cuts. I still support it.

    I’ll add that Federal Employees are a significant part of my customers. I’m all for it, too, and appreciate it being done in a timely manner.

      You're a legacy guy. With a unique set of skills.

      Speaking of...I have a friend who just turned 80. Heckuva guy, did pararescue in Vietnam. After his hitch, he went to work for Ma Bell. Worked his way up to where installed the phone systems in large businesses, such as hospitals, etc.

      When he retired, he had so many people call him to work on those legacy systems, he formed his own 1 horse company (hiring some other guys as needed). He just finally gave it up...shucks, he's 80.

      He still has people beating his door down to work on those old systems...

                        What do you do if your “five work-related accomplishments” are supposed to be classified information?

                        Will the OPM get many emails about TPS reports?

                          Tulsi Gabbard, the director of the office of national intelligence, ordered all intelligence community officers not to respond, in a message reviewed by The New York Times.

                          “Given the inherently sensitive and classified nature of our work, I.C. employees should not respond to the OPM email,” Ms. Gabbard wrote.

                            DoD:

                            Employees at the Defense Department were also told to not comply with the email.

                            “The Department of Defense is responsible for reviewing the performance of its personnel and it will conduct any review in accordance with its own procedures,” Darin S. Selnick, the acting Pentagon official in charge of personnel, said in a statement.

                                  Or, couldn't they just be known as an agency that isn't engaged in national security matters?

                                  Seems the difference in FBI, DoD, etc, should be clearly distinguishable from Dept of Transportation, or whatever.

                                    They all have their own internal rules of employee performance review, which is the reasoning being stated by the leaders of the organizations that are pushing back. The request already specifies that no sensitive information should be provided by the employees.

                                        The question is who you must show it to.

                                        Too much of this is for public consumption. "Look what we're DOING for you!".

                                          In any decently run company, managers will know what their employees are doing without having them send emails justifying their existence.

                                          If the manager doesn't know, then he's the one who should be justifying his existence.

                                          I was only joking
