 ‘I am terrified’: Workers describe the dark mood inside federal agencies

“I would love to leave, but I don’t know where I’d go,” said one staffer.

President Donald Trump’s executive orders targeting the federal workforce have injected a fresh wave of anxiety among employees across the bureaucracy — stoking fears the president is coming for their jobs.

Just a few days into Trump’s second term, some federal workers are contemplating quitting. Others are preparing to file grievances with their unions or moving communications with each other to secure platforms like Signal. Some, fearing they’ll be caught up in the White House’s purge of diversity programs, are leaving their names off of memos and documents they worry could be labeled as DEI-adjacent.

As federal employees searched this week for clues within the orders to see how they’ll be affected, a staffer with the Environmental Protection Agency said they were cleaning out their inbox and waiting for information about early retirement and buyout programs.

“Trump version 1.0 was bad,” said the EPA employee. “I’m already done with version 2.0.”

IMO, the EPA needs to be skinned, gutted, and hung on a wall in the Oval Office. AFAIC, those envirocrats can learn to code or take fryolator training ... you know

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

“I would love to leave, but I don’t know where I’d go,” said one staffer.

Open admission his/her skill set is limited.

Only type of job he seemingly can get is one that attracts such people as the risk of being terminated is small.

Encapsulates the problems inside the federal bureaucracy and that it must be reduced as Americans are getting limited value from employees like this..
