Supervisor tells OPM to shove it.

I work for the DoD and there has been a lot of questions about the OPM email since our illustrious SECDEF told all DoD employees to answer. Our supervisor today sent an email telling us not to respond without their direct approval as we don't work for OPM and that, until there is direct instructions from our commands, this is known as node building.

We've been instructed to NOT respond and we were reminded of our oaths to the Constitution and of our duty to protect the information we handle.

Side note: I want to thank Jeff for teaching us all Cyber Awareness and how to recognize this bs as the clear fishing it is.

Edit: holy shit. This is by far the more up-dooted post I've ever had. Thanks for the award!

I have also just received directions to respond to the DoD email "what did you accomplish last week" within the next 48 hours. What concerns me about THAT is it specifically requires my supervisor to "approve" responses and are to be kept on file for "later referencing and audit purposes"

2025 = 1984 apparently.
