The Atlantic published on 16 April 2025 an article titled "Federal Workers Are Facing a New Reality" by Elaine Godfrey.
The author spoke with 24 employees at 14 federal agencies. The concern of the employees was not changing priorities, reduction of bloat, or the red lining of former silly programs. It was the meat axe approach to federal government service and the total lack of responsible planning by DOGE mercenaries. The goal seems to be to create chaos, destroy employee morale, and treat federal workers as villains. As a result, the federal service is spiraling out of control.
