[quote=Anonymous]I’m at SSA, which is being run by a non-supervisory GS-15 who was was on Admin leave and probably would have been fired (possibly prosecuted) for leaking info to DOGE. He’s serving as a figurehead while Musk has completely redone the other chart, closed field offices, turned our 10 national regions into 4, fired most of the decent SES (and certainly the people we trusted), made it clear they will be replaced by politicals, announced RIFs of 12-50% (we are not getting reliable info from anyone and what we get is contradictory).  He apparently decided to outsource teleservice operations (mostly to AI). He has been sending a stream of insane, typo ridden, stream of thought, impossible to interpret without Ketamibr memos, including one telling us we serve at the pleasure of Trump (nope, we are political appointees) and we had better improve our attitudes or else (gee, wonder why morale is down).  He’s also started the RIF process now and isn’t waiting until 3/13. He returned NBU to the office with 36 hours notice. They found out Monday they had to report today.  But as of last night, they don’t have space for many people— so people left work knowing they were RTO today, but not knowing their office location.  “Your manager will reach out.”

And that’s just the last week. It’s completely insane. No one is doing substantive work because they are do many DOGE imposed  issues and so  many meetings with managers who have no answers.

How to Destroy an Agency 101.  It’s ramping up, not down.

And again, this is being done (nominally) by a GS15 in his first supervisory role. DOgE chose to completely restructure now, rather than waiting until our political is confirmed next month. Which makes zero sense.

If you are in a lull before rIGs, enjoy it. It’s pretty clear part of the goal at SSA is to create a work environment so toxic, people wuit.
