‘Morale is completely lost,’ say workers as Trump administration strips some programs and transfers others
On Tuesday afternoon Linda McMahon, the education secretary, held an all-staff meeting and announced plans to press ahead with dismantling the department.
Key operations are set to be handed off to a string of other agencies, including the departments of interior, health and human services, labor and state. While the move is technically temporary, the administration intends to seek approval from Congress to make the changes permanent.
“Not one person applauded,” said one employee who attended the meeting. “Morale is completely lost,” they added. “Staff are furious about the way we are being treated.”
The administration has moved fast to dismantle the agency, which had more than 4,000 employees when Trump took office in January, and now has about 2,700. Trump signed an executive order in March calling for its shutdown, and the supreme court upheld mass firings in July.
Dismantling the DoE makes for stupider people. Stupider people vote for maga…seems kinda simple to me…
Fascists going after educators and education is never by accident.
I hope this corrupt wrestling hag is on the guillotine list
“Morale is completely lost,” they added. “Staff are furious about the way we are being treated.”
A reminder that Trump and his advisors specifically campaigned on a platform of ruining the morale of Federal Workers.
“When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains,” Vought said in a clip obtained by ProPublica and Documented. “We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can’t do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.”
This piece of hateful fuckin nazi filth deserves to be tried for treason and hung publicly for his crimes against America.
Yes and the corrupt wrestling hag too
And the neoliberals/libertarians/anarcho capitalists cheered. Of course people who worship the “free market,” and who believe that governments can only ever do harm and that taxation is theft, want the government to be dysfunctional. Because, ultimately, they don’t want the government to function, at all. Why would they? Why would someone who adamantly believes that governments are always bad want a functioning government?
