Ready for some sob stories from depressed federal workers?

“I just found it absolutely repugnant and inexcusable,” Doolittle recalled. “We’re a civil rights agency. That’s our role if nothing else.”
So he quit. His last day was June 30.
“A lot of people like me tried to hold on for the first six months,” he said. “I went from being so proud to say where I worked to avoiding the subject... I could no longer stay there in good faith without considering myself part of the problem.”

The employee said she would prefer to be laid off than to take a buyout, because a severance package would be more generous.

I’m having trouble keeping myself motivated. I’m normally an extremely productive person, and yet I can’t get anything done.”
This month, she went shopping in the middle of a weekday. Frequently, she walks around the Commerce headquarters building to burn off stress, she said.

I read it and find it interesting that you left out the positive stories.
quote:
For Thomas Decker, who works at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the change has been dramatic and welcome.
“Right now, we’re enforcing immigration laws,” said Decker, who is director of enforcement and removal operations for ICE’s operations in the New York area. “The morale is up. We’re able to do what we were hired to do, which is making the homeland safe.”
For the first time in years, he feels his agency is really doing the job, a reflection of the priority the president has placed on cracking down on illegal immigration. And he feels the future is secure for ICE’s 19,330 employees.

There have been multiple threads about enthusiasm at ICE (one in the board this morning, even) and at the VA. Didn't want to quote the whole article.

FedGov employees quitting? I'm supposed to be concerned about this? Next thing you'll tell me is the IRS audit department went on strike.

Just downvote and move on, I promise it won't hurt my feelings.

If only the "Civil Rights" division at Justice would quit so they could be replaced by non-racists.
The next person who refuses to charge someone solely because the perp is black should be shot. Out of a cannon. Into the sun.

There is a VA employee who is also enthusiastic at the bottom of the article.

She sounds like dead weight.
Wonder how many people like her we have just roaming the halls on our dime?

So the people at useless agencies are upset and the people at helpful agencies are encouraged

And this is why there will be a small, but highly secure hole in The Wall.
If you "can't get anything done" we will replace you with someone who really wants to work. And for a fair wage as well!

My guess? Probably 50-75% of the government payroll.

quote:this explains so much. No wonder our public school kids are morons. So here is my theory of why the left in this country always fricks up everything they control. They are not in the education game to produce well educated kids, they are in it for social engineering. They are not interested in economic policies that produce the best results, they only care about economics as a tool to facilitate social engineering. Nothing is about what it is, it's about civil rights and social justice etc..

Yeah, I bet you're right.
I'm sure it's worse at some departments than others.

I love when liberals try to appropriate words used against them and try to turn them around. You aren't doing it right. If you want to see an effective about face...ask liberals how happy they are they started the term "fake news".
