[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Typically in our office the political director gets a minion or two and they and their work are largely kept separate from career staff. In this administration, they have hired more political minions than ever and they are getting very involved in career staff work. One of my colleagues expressed the concern that we are going to be “replaced” and I think that’s valid. But it looks like they will let career staff leave by attrition and hire more and more political replacements then. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, to say the least. Has anyone else seen this phenomenon?[/quote] Yes the US is going back to the “spoil system”. It is from the Gilded Age. This is where the party in power replaces all governmental workers with party loyalists.[/quote]
