REP. TIM BURCHETT: ELON'S 'WHAT DID YOU DO LAST WEEK?' EMAIL IS A GREAT IDEA

“I think [challenging federal employees on their accomplishments] is a great idea.

You do it in private business all the time.

You have to have accountability.

You have to show your work, you have to show what you've done.

Now, we're saying the federal government should do the same.

Some folks are upset about it.

Obviously they're upset, because they can't show what they've done because they probably haven't done much.

I've been contacted by people who are very upset that they have to go back to work because they've moved. 

They don't even live in the area anymore, but they thought they could work from home.

The post-Covid days are over.

We need to get people back to work.

We need to show what they're doing, and we need to show the efficiencies of government, which has not been done in quite some time.”
