    I hate how every time this shit happens everyone jumps ship and just makes room for evil to backfill where possible. People stand your fucking ground and force these people out or make their lives miserable. Fight back!

    Stop making it easy for them and allowing them to win at every turn!!

      How is it a government employee’s responsibility to “fight back” when the voters insist on installing the worst person as their boss? This is literally what the voters chose.

      If the smart career employees want to get out while they can, more power to them. It’s not their job to fight the will of millions of idiots.

        So just because we lose you can’t do anything within your power about it? Way to roll over and die just because you lose an election.

          Meanwhile if the same guy showed up on lemmy telling you how much their corporate job sucks and their boss is completely clueless, everyone would pile on to say they should quit.

            Exactly. Imagine I’m a competent professional, just minding my own business and being good at my job, and suddenly I’m asked to become some kind of resistance hero and risk my career, my livelihood, and my family’s future. Meanwhile, all around me I see the worst people installed in power and are actively looting and destroying my organization.

            I could do that, or I could jump ship and make a decent living somewhere else.

            The choice is simple, for those that have that opportunity.

              What, you’re not willing to traumatize (or for those of us who have already had to fight evil from an incompetent boss RELIVE our trauma) yourself for the 5 minutes of delay it’ll earn? What a coward you must be!

      Once I interned in Washington DC… you start to understand the mindset there. Everyone all over the US blames DC for the dysfunction in our government. However, the opposite is true, you people sent these dysfunctional people to DC, so really it’s your fault.

      Same thinking here. Most government bureaucrats are well-educated caring individuals who are really passionate about their subject area. Expecting them to tolerate a toxic workplace because the American people can’t choose competent leaders is unfair.

      Look on the bright side, we’ll have so much raw data from the worst-managed possible country-sized control group. Except that they’ll probably react to attempts to document the results of their policies with book burnings and witch trials. Well, maybe we can smuggle in some camouflaged researchers or just watch the obituaries or something.
