US federal workers received a second weekend email demanding that they outline their accomplishments of the previous week — but this time with a message saying that it would be an ongoing occurrence.

The email, with the subject line “What did you do last week? Part II,” is inspired by billionaire presidential adviser Elon Musk, who has made similar demands of managers at his companies.
