Part 2/8:
The GWES was designed as an effort to streamline communication within the federal workforce, prompting questions concerning its implementation and the adequacy of its privacy measures. The plaintiffs contend that OPM had mishandled data associated with their email addresses, resulting in violations of privacy regulations. Compounding their frustration is the recent action taken by Elon Musk, who demanded the federal government clarify employee work statuses via email. This demand raised alarm bells for the plaintiffs, who argue that it further exposed them to potential data breaches.
