Two federal employees are suing the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to block the agency from creating a new email distribution system an action that comes as the information will reportedly be directed to a former staffer to Elon Musk now at the agency.
The suit, launched by two anonymous federal employees, ties together two events that have alarmed members of the federal workforce and prompted privacy concerns.
That includes an unusual email from OPM last Thursday reviewed by The Hill said the agency was testing a new capability to reach all federal employees a departure from staffers typically being contacted directly by their agencys human resources department.
Also cited in the suit is an anonymous Reddit post Monday from someone purporting to be an OPM employee, saying a new server was installed at their office after a career employee refused to set up a direct line of communication to all federal employees.
