I've watched Administrations go from DEM to GOP & back & forth. Even during worst of times in our country we didn't see career employees resign en masse. Especially not from being told to do so.

Project 2025 openly announced they want total loyalty and compliance to Trump, or they will just fire people or as they put it "bully them out of the workplace"
I would leave to if I was them. Not just my job. The whole shitty country.
If you want access to honest & informed insight on what Trump & Project2025 are doing, you need knowledgeable people who can go for off-hours coffee w/ the honest & decent folk still inside the department.

50% doing what you know is bad work but it’s management orders; 50% desperately trying to find ways to do the right thing & not get fired for your efforts.
(Left that job, but it took 2 decades to get out.)
Google for their names
in a year or 2 & you’ll prolly find their informed (but still tempered) opinions on where the country’s going.
but NO don't compare yourselves to people living in real dictatorships just because you feel sour. It just..you have no clue.
If you find a way to change the course, let us know. We could use it in Europe too.
Time to cut losses and run.
And we all know that the appointed top management of agencies will be utterly chaotic & minimally qualified: who wants that kind of workplace?

And we’ll never regain the stature we have had: we’ll be more on a par w/ the UK, no longer *the* global leader.
It’s not just demoralizing, it makes it impossible for you to actually do your job.
Too much time wasted triple-checking communication & data, fighting for resources, & doing full 180s on upper-level command.
And if for legal reasons they were still responsible for doing their jobs, working for a destructive narcissistic fool isn’t the kind of experience you look forward to adding to your resume.
Yep.
Yep.
Won’t be our 1st President Weekend at Bernie’s rodeo.
