Members of DOGE have reportedly not shared their last names during meetings with federal workers, which has raised concerns about transparency. Thomas Shedd, a recent GSA engineer, expressed his discomfort but justified the practice as a means of preventing media scrutiny. Critics, including Scott Amey from the Project on Government Oversight, argue that this lack of transparency violates public trust, and that all federal employees should be identifiable to foster accountability. Historically, IRS employees can use pseudonyms under certain conditions, but the rationale for DOGE's approach remains contentious.
There's no need to hide our names, the employee said. "It's all public record." Public service is a public trust, and not identifying DOGE team members is a violation of transparency and openness that the public deserves.

DOGE needs to go above and beyond all ethics and transparency requirements and release all of its work product.
