Washington D.C. - Civilian employees at the Department of Defense will no longer be required to submit weekly activity reports, according to an internal memo released this week. The reports, previously required by the Director of Oversight and Governance Execution (DOGE), consisted of a bulleted list summarizing each employee's accomplishments for the week.
The decision to eliminate the weekly reports comes as part of a broader effort to streamline operations and reduce administrative burdens within the department. Officials stated that the time spent compiling and reviewing these reports could be better utilized on core job functions.
"This change is designed to empower our civilian workforce and allow them to focus on their primary responsibilities," said a spokesperson for the Department of Defense. "By removing unnecessary administrative tasks, we aim to increase efficiency and improve overall performance."
The elimination of the weekly reports is effective immediately. Supervisors are encouraged to communicate directly with their teams to ensure accountability and maintain productivity.
