Business Insider's readers reacted to an email from DOGE requesting a list of five recent work accomplishments. While many were willing to comply, expecting to showcase their efforts, a significant minority were resistant, citing distrust in the motives of DOGE leadership. Feedback revealed a nuanced view; although the method was regarded as presumptuous and potentially toxic, the underlying practice of summarizing achievements received overall support as a positive tool for accountability and performance tracking in the workplace.
"I really don't hate it in theory as much as I distrust the people enacting this strategy," wrote one reader.
Nearly half of you said you'd be happy to send a list of five things you got done last week.
One person mentioned, 'I submitted and for 30+ years had my staff submit a weekly activity report every Friday.'
The idea of being expected to list out your weekly accomplishments is, indeed, a good idea.
