Federal Employee Resignations

A significant protest unfolded as 21 federal workers from the U.S. Digital Service resigned, signaling deep discontent with their new governance under the Department of Government Efficiency. This group, representing a third of the remaining staff, expressed frustration over a lack of transparency and clear leadership, particularly concerning orders attributed to Elon Musk and his associates. They publicly announced their resignations via a letter to the White House chief of staff and launched a website, where they positioned themselves as 'builders' in contrast to the 'destroyers' they perceived in the current administration. These resignations highlight a broader discord among federal employees, many of whom feel marginalized and unrecognized in their roles.
