More than 20 employees from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) resigned, stating that their actions conflicted with essential civil servant duties. They expressed significant concerns over the organization's potential risks to public services and Americans' sensitive data in their resignation letter directed at the White House Chief of Staff. These employees highlighted a problematic hiring process that involved inappropriate questions about political loyalty and security risks due to the interviewers' limited technical ability. Their departure underscores the tension within the organization following its reorganization under Elon Musk's leadership.
We will not use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans' sensitive data, or dismantle public services.
Several of these interviewers refused to identify themselves, asked questions about political loyalty, attempted to pit colleagues against each other, and demonstrated limited technical ability.
This process created significant security risks.
We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE's actions.
