The Pentagon announced that Defense Department civilians will no longer be required to submit a weekly email listing five accomplishments, a rule initiated in March. In lieu of this, employees must submit one idea aimed at improving efficiency or eliminating waste by Wednesday. While the objective of these emails was to underscore the department's mission, many civilians found it burdensome and questioned its purpose. There is no incentive program in place for submissions, contrasting with other military suggestion initiatives that reward cost-saving ideas.
"Your weekly emails have served as a reminder of the depth and breadth of the Department's mission, and of how it takes a workforce of many talents to achieve our national security mission."
"We still have not been told what its true purpose is or who will read it. It's an internal joke... just one more report each week that takes time away from the actually important work we have to do."
