Give me a break. They’re not coasting, they’re drowning. Morale is incredibly low, employees don’t have the support or tools they need to be “successful” nor is that “success” even clearly defined by management at most agencies and certainly not at the very top. Think about what it’s like working at the lower levels of the biggest corporation you know, then multiply that feeling by a million and cut the budget in half. Most private sector employees wouldn’t be able to stand it. They’d faint at the suggestion that they need to buy their own coffee, ffs.

This whole song and dance is very tiresome.


I know-- I was thinking of the poster who complained that his company wouldn't pay for a goodbye party for someone. Meanwhile my agency refused to pay for paper I use to WFH.

That guy is so crazy. If he were to win and implement his vision, we’d all be living in a Mad max situation so federal layoffs would be the least of our worries.
I always wonder with these crazy proposals—if a president were to eliminate the department of ed, who would administer all the programs in laws that are on the books? It’s such a separation of powers problem— I don’t believe in drug safety so I’m just going to eliminate the FDA! I don’t think an executive can de facto nullify a law by abolishing the agency that administers the law.

Ironically, Trump was the one to finally give federal workers paid parental leave.


So weird. I doubt he cared but it gave Ivanka something to do.



This was entirely championed by Pelosi but Ivanka got the girl boss credit for it.

Well, if the FDA doesn't have any workers, that should make it a lot easier to get the drugs from your biotech approved for use. Win.

Neither can I. It seems they are Schrodinger's feds, both indispensable and expendable at the same time.

Wonder how he is leveraging this campaign to embezzle more money like his biotech “incubator”.

He's never going to get out of the single digits, so what difference does it make? He has zero chance of even winning the primary, let alone the actual election.

Hatred is accurate. It’s disgusting.
