On Friday, employees, formerly US digital service, are now part of the Doge Elon Musk initiative with Stephanie Holmes, who introduced itself as part of the DOGE team and as the new HR Representative.
During the meeting, which began at noon, dozens of USD employees in Holmes related to the “Fork on the Road” email last week by providing federal workers “deferred resignation”, based on documents that detail the meeting by Wired and Confirmed by sources, they asked questions in Holmes. In the presence of these questions, there are various topics of the future of employee projects until the guidelines of return to the office are fully implemented for workers, as well as the exact nature of the federal government provided to employees.
Holmes – who did not respond immediately to the comment’s request – can only answer only a few questions. He said when he was asked that the proposal was “legal”, and later he said, “We believe it is a legal proposal,” and could provide additional guidance beyond it. At one point, he was asked if there was a more formal way to accept the purchase than to respond to an email with the word “resign” on the subject line. One employee expressed concern that foreign actors could send the resignation email to the employees by forging their email addresses.
One employee said, “I assume that if people decide to face a deferred resignation, there is some kind of real agreement we sign.” “Can we get a copy of it before the time for preview? Can we get a copy of the agreement?”
Holmes replied “I don’t know.” “But to return to it.”
This confusion comes as the February 6 deadline is to accept the Federal Workers’ Deal. In the email – which was very similar to one of the Musk that sent Twitter staff in 2022 – the sender, known as the OPM Office of Management (OPM), shows that workers who decide to resign are still still They can lose their job later. Holmes was asked if he could commit a specific time to provide more details on deferred resignation transactions.
“No,” Holmes said. “You know, I think the information you want about this topic is now available to you, and again, you just have to make a personal decision based on the information that is now available to you.”
The same employee replied and said, “I apologize for this intervention, but there are various things that this room has put forward that is inconsistent or challenging … I just know why you are able to pledge to present it The profile is not right now.
“Yes, I appreciate your question, and I don’t mean to be duplicates or to be controversial in any way, but again, I just encourage you not to miss the big picture here,” Holmes says. ” “The benefits of accepting deferred resignation are that you guarantee that you are not exposed to force and are exempt from returning to the administrative order, so I only encourage you to focus on generous aspects,” he said.

President Donald Trump established an executive order in his first day of presidency by reorganizing US digital services, an existing entity in the President’s Office as the US DOG service. Trump has appointed Elvan Mesak as the head of the DOG, which takes a long time to reduce costs in government agencies. Since its release, DOGE has faced at least three petitions that challenge it as a federal agency.
While mask has installed Lieutenant at its top level and now uses it as a lever to control the federal government, the US digital service was a relatively small agency with about 200 employees before the recent implementation order. Its task was to help resolve inefficient technology throughout the government, serving the ability to enter government agencies and access their software and technical systems.
