In just 17 days, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have initiated significant changes to the federal workforce, embodying a 'move fast and break things' approach. These drastic, swift actions have left federal employees feeling shocked and demoralized as they try to comply with new orders without proper guidance. Reports of a 'hostile takeover' of the US Digital Service highlight the turmoil, with on-the-ground employees struggling to manage intense and unclear demands amidst looming deadlines for voluntary resignations.
Over the past 17 days, Donald Trump and Elon Musk have quickly applied the industry's 'move fast and break things' maxim as they seek to remake the federal workforce.
The pace stands out, even for a president whose promises of swift action were central to his campaign.
It seems clear to me that they're just trying to wage a campaign to shock and demoralize federal workers.
The experience as a federal employee is every day, or every two days, you receive some new, extreme demand but no guidance or clarity on how it is supposed to be achieved.
