#12   are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!"

Oh! This is analogous to the musician contract that as a final point requires a fresh bowl of M&Ms in the dressing room each night, said bowl to contain no blue M&Ms whatsoever. Not because the musicians care, but if that point is not noticed and acted on by the site managers, who knows what other, much more important, points are also being missed?

#8  "They Are Covering Immense Fraud": Musk Says Surprise Fed Emails Meant To Uncover 'Non-Existent Or Dead People' Collecting Paychecks

Update (1118ET): After panic swept through Washington over Elon Musk's email requiring all federal employees to send an email by Monday at midnight with five bullet points explaining what they got done last week, Musk explained the reasoning behind the last minute demand: "immense fraud."

"The reason this matters is that a significant number of people who are supposed to be working for the government are doing so little work that they are not checking their email at all!" Musk wrote on X. "In some cases, we believe non-existent people or the identities of dead people are being used to collect paychecks. In other words, there is outright fraud."

#7  but really all I did was teach

Building the coursework plan
Creating and submitting advancement metrics
Reviewing and selecting teaching materials
Building the course and labwork research
Mapping the coursework plan to a calendar schedule
Scheduling, executing and evaluating metrics
Preparing individual improvement plans and metrics
Success activity scoring [grading]

Dragging the thankless little bastards to a qualified endpoint ... priceless.

#6  Well, I was a computer programming instructor for 40 years. Many of the classes I taught were 1-5 weeks, so all I would say for last week would be something like "Taught Java programming."
I suppose I could split it into 5 bullet points, but really all I did was teach.
