[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel calm for now. I will worry about things when they happen.[/quote]

This.  We’re in for a long haul, people.  Constantly freaking out does no good, at all.  It’s what they want us to do.  Staying calm is resisting.

That, and as a supervisor, I can’t afford to be flipping the f out all the time.  [/quote]

This.  They talk a lot of talk, but when I look at it immediately surroundings,  dry little has changed other than the fact that I see my staff in person a bit more.  Not that what HAS happened elsewhere isn’t horrible—it’s just not happening to me and there’s very little I can do to help other than stay calm and competent.[/quote]

USAID person here. This was my attitude, shared by many coworkers. I now wish we had freaked out more and earlier. We should have blown whistles, created paper trails, questioned orders, coordinated with outside allies.

If I could give advice to my January 20th self, it would be: Do not be the frog in the pot.[/quote]
