Vought wanted feds in trauma, that works for me

[Anonymous]

Vought wanted feds "in trauma", that works for me, more or less. This administration has been very distressing for me, to the point where I feel anxious about coming to work. A lot of staff have already left the agency through VERA and DRP, and many others chose regular retirement shortly after the five-day RTO requirement was announced. Now everyone is stretched extremely thin, and without the option to telework—especially with the added commute time—it has become very difficult.

In the meantime, I still need to deal with the potential USDA relocation and look for other opportunities. I feel exhausted.

I want to quit, but the job market is tough at the moment. Still have three more years to go under this administration, and I’m hoping things will return to normal by 2029.

The Presidential Crimes Commission will include — hell, Featured — Vought in its investigation and charges. Along with Stephen Miller and Steven Cheung.

I have a lot of external parties who very much want my agency component to move quickly and well. I tell them outright - would love to move more quickly on that for you, but I cannot even check my email at home without going to my director for permission, and we are down by 30% of our staff since the trauma started. So sorry!

This is the right attitude. I am happy to work overtime from home but can't/won't from the office - they can decide whether a task is important enough to authorize telework. Funnily enough, when they need something done they find the flexibility.
OP, when the workforce shrinks the workload has to shrink too. Do what you can do and let your manager set the priorities.

My supervisor is a good person, and our work is truly a team effort. If I do less, it means others have to take on more, because the work still needs to get done. I also understand that managers carry even more pressure. It’s like a family — we take care of each other.

No the workload will not decrease are you an idiot?
You didn't read Projec 2025 did you?

The plan is to minimal people for pennies with zero benefits for 14 hour or more days.

I am not wrong nor am I exaggerating you fools did not read it cognitively and you haven't heard Theil and the founder of Oracle talk! UGH wake up people

No, actually, it doesn't. That's what you need to understand. This administration DOES NOT WANT THE WORK DONE. That's why they are getting rid of everyone. They want to break the system so they can get rid of it.

+1. If they want your work done, the administration will let your office hire the workers it needs. Go look -- there are people getting hired at different agencies. If they aren't letting your office do that, it does not want your office doing your work.

Everyone needs to do less. Think like you have an abusive parent. Do what you can to survive until you can move out.

Your coworkers are NOT your family, that’s a totally toxic attitude. You should not take on more work because management has refused to hire an adequate number of people. Dysfunction is what people voted for so that’s what they need to get. You need to work at a level that is sustainable for you for the long haul.

This happened in my office this past summer. We had a sudden important deadline to meet so overtime was authorized. They couldn't find enough people to stay at the office to do it so they quickly then authorized it for at home any day of the week.

Vought wants to hold federal employees accountable for poor performance. For some federal employees, accountability is an alien concept, which they equate to trauma. However, in the real world (i.e., private sector), accountability is life and nothing new.
