Disruption:
Sam Corcos sends an email to pproximately 200 remaining employees in the GSA’s Technology Transformation Service (TTS) ordering them to send him daily updates of work they did that day, have planned for the following day and any issues affecting their work. The email reads that “[t]he purpose of these updates is to help us better understand what everyone is working on, give TTS Front Office a clearer picture of progress across the organization, and identify any blockers” and also notes that not complying may result in “adverse actions.” This is an obvious echo of the infamous DOGE “Five Things” email from last year. Corcos also noted that Jonathan Adelman, a Tech Force participants who graduated college in 2023, would be charged with “unblocking” problems.
