“There is no HHS expectation that HHS employees respond to OPM and there is no impact to your employment with the agency if you choose not to respond,” the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees were told, according to a note obtained by the Washington Post.

Reuters was the first to report the administration is ending the "5 things" emails. Ex-DOGE chief Elon Musk infamously said failure to respond to the email would be considered a resignation. He left the Trump administration in May.

More federal changes implemented by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) are being rolled back, according to a report from Reuters. The Trump administration on Tuesday formally ended a requirement that federal employees send their managers a weekly message highlighting "five things" they had accomplished.
