DOGE is wasting time and money on what makes sense only as a troll or a publicity stunt.
It's a warning and a signaling that there is going to be a shift in government culture. The point is not writing the emails. No one is going to read e-mails from 2.3m (holy shit) federal employees. They'll lie anyway.
The point is to say: "You, personally, are on notice that your performance is being watched and you'll be held to account if you're not providing any value." Just getting a focus on efficiency rolling is easily worth 10 minutes per head.
The direct communication is also bit of encouragement to whistleblow, without having managers in the middle.
they might pipe the contents of those emails through chatgpt or another large-language model to see if there are any outliers that demand closer attention :) You'd be surprised what sort of things are possible in this brave new world.
