[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for DOS. It's miserable. I'd say State is probably one of the most stressed-out agencies right now. Morale is at an all-time low. People are retiring and leaving in droves. I'm looking elsewhere. Everyone I know is looking elsewhere. [/quote]

Lowest it’s been in twenty years. Run by SBOs who generally hate the workforce. Mostly a bunch of Heritage - Vought flunkies. They made a ton of domestic Civil Service cuts and plan to make more. Very limited travel and shoddy equipment. Lots of inefficient reviews needed for the most arcane of things. Everyone has turned to the office and most offices feel like a morgue. I guess HST is busy but the politicals are feeling the pressure of the midterms ahead. They know that if the GOO loses the House, things won’t be great for them and a lot more lights will be shined on their doings. [/quote]

Bitter, eh? Midterm results won't change anything at state. The gravy train is over. And for good reasons. That's why old guard is upset. Like USAID state was doing things they had no business doing.[/quote]

Was there ever a gravy train? If so, which bureau?[/quote]
