| For the first time in the history of the survey, the Office of Personnel Management is CANCELLING the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS). They don’t want you to know how they’re treating federal workers. |

| Outrageous, and on brand. |

It goes hand in hand with this administration wanting to destroy satellites that measure atmospheric carbon, firing statisticians and economists who publish unfavorable data about jobs, the economy and inflation, and so on.
They delusionally think that by not talking about the problems it somehow magically makes the problem go away. Instead, they kick the can down the road while the problem worsens. |

| They just don't care what workers think. Only the bosses' opinions matters -- it's their government and they'll run it how they want. |

| At this point there is nothing to be learned from that survey. We know that no employee is going to give a positive response. |

It makes sense. No federal employee really wants to work for the federal government now and we all already
Iknow this. It's what republicans voted for and now they have it. All laid out in Project 2025. Now VA hospitals can't recruit doctors and medical personnel. Apparently when you treat feds badly and hate the mission of the federal government, no one wants to be a fed anymore. Who knew! No one wants to work for any federal agency now, most of us are just sticking around and trying to do our jobs to the best of our ability until our earliest possible retirement date. It's what the Heritage Foundation wanted and now they've got it. |

It's a coverup for the failure of this administration, and the massive loss of morale in the federal workforce.
Since Trump took his second term of office, the federal government has faced a massive loss of staff, with over 149,000 job cuts across key agencies like Treasury, Agriculture, Defense, and HHS. These reductions have gutted institutional expertise, sidelined subject matter experts, and left remaining employees demoralized, underutilized, and in many cases, forced to “sit on their hands” while critical regulatory functions are rolled back. The result: weakened public protections, from food safety to labor standards, far more government dysfunction, along with far less critical oversight. The cancellation of the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS) by the Trump administration silences the only governmentwide tool for measuring morale, engagement, and trust among federal workers. By scrapping the survey and redacting past results, the administration has effectively cut off visibility into the human impact of its own workforce policies, just as morale hits historic lows and public service capacity erodes. In short: the government is hemorrhaging talent, burying feedback, and dismantling its own ability to serve the public, while dishonestly pretending it’s all part of a "high-performance" transformation. |

| This administration doesn't care and wants most of us to quit anyhow, so why bother? |

| My agency generally does a pulse survey to address internal morale, but I noticed that it hasn't come out this year and doubtful that it will. Morale is bad, they know, plan on keeping it that way, and hope you leave as a result. |

Judging from the parade of overweight identical looking staff fired from State. They all look depressed for decades |

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with working for the federal government. It’s an honorable job. Rather, there’s something wrong with working for the current administration. It’s like saying all men suck after a few months of dating one complete loser. The loser had bad table manners and was always too cheap to leave a tip. Oh, and the big one— he lied that he was still married. But it doesn’t mean all men are terrible. |

Like Trump, overweight and depressed once his handlers remove the 2 inch thick tan face plaster? |

My agency asked for volunteers for a committee to study employee morale. Everyone i talked to laughed and no one volunteered; committee was cancelled. Morale is low and it's not coming back. |
