This article posting gives me fear, but it must be said. I have worked for the Federal government and know for a fact that Federal employees, almost all of them, have an intense dislike for conservatives and Trump in particular. They may come after me and probably will in some form or fashion, but someone has to make a sacrifice to get the truth out.
If people could only see what it is like on the inside, they would be in shock at the hatred harbored for everyday Americans. Those in supervisory positions absolutely will not tolerate ANYONE challenging their power and are far more ruthless than ordinary bosses. If ordinary Americans are suffering some kind of loss either through disaster or income, the government does not care. The only action taken to help anyone is through force of law or demand, not from a genuine desire to help anyone. The only thought is "How is this going to help ME if I do something for someone else."
The Democrat leadership, and Federal supervisors, care absolutely nothing about the common American citizen OR Federal worker and only are concerned about their own power. Thus, they do not care if Federal workers are not paid, but only about achieving political gains. They also do not care anything at all about the illegal aliens or blacks or anyone else and only advocate for them to further their own power.
If only I could get protection, I could reveal FAR more about what is going on. However, I've discovered in the past that no one is going to step forward and protect me for telling the truth.
In the ghetto snitches get stitches. In big government whistle blowers get two self inflicted gunshot wounds in the back of the head.
When I worked for the fedgov, and granted it was a few years ago now but not ancient history, my experience was entirely different. Those that I have kept in touch with don’t have any particular animus towards Trump, and all of them want the wall. It probably varies significantly agency to agency.
Except,possibly,for those receiving checks from the Armed Forces and “regular” Social Security checks (meaning the kind you get at 65) just about *everyone* who gets *any* kind of government check votes Rat.
I’ve worked for local governmental agencies, and they’ve hated conservatives, too - generally. I suppose it depends on the locality, but that’s been my experience at four places.
Present tense Dittos.
The DoD is highly conservative. We are laughing at the Libs pf other agencies who are furloughed. You should see how they are bellyaching like spoiled children! They are an entitlement class on welfare.
Start with a motivated, skilled, honest, conservative whistle blower lawyer, if you can find one.
Yes, there are some exceptions. However, what I have stated is universally true. In one agency in particular, the hatred is intense.
Will it be safe to speak out about what you have seen after you retire? Or would some way be found to take away your pension or otherwise retaliate? I’m a government retiree myself, from a small agency in a small state. There wasn’t so much a hostility to non-liberals, but more a reflexive assumption that I, like everyone else, was a good-thinking liberal. I’m ashamed to say that I mostly left such assumptions unchallenged to save myself grief.
Their was a time they were public servants, now they are union members.
JFK’s real legacy
That is more than a Veiled Threat. Come get some.
Keep records. Make at least several back up copies for each. Hide each back up copies in different, multiple locations.
I know there are other federal employees on this page. I hope each of them understands that each day each of them faces the man or the mouse test and that they need to be men of courage just like Trump. Tell the truth. Expose the rot. Be a man.
EPA? HHS?
I’m surprised that federal “public servants” have so little sympathy and/or empathy for their local and state bretheren. While Fedzilla can print money to pay for what it promises to its employees, states and locals can’t. And Trump’s economy is the only thing keeping some of those state pension plants afloat. But do federal employees care about that...?
I work at a University and the intimidation to keep quiet is overwhelming.
You would not believe the stuff I hear and see.
DoD matters. We have all the guns! That agency and others are also about to be purged.
And let’s not leave out state, county and municipal workers either. Face it, government jobs, are at their core, about the employees and not those by whom they are employed. Their attitude is always “what’s in it for me and how much more can I get and how much less do I have to do to get it.”
Shining Example:
I went to the San Francisco office of the DMV on my lunch hour to renew my driver’s license. I took the written test then got into a line that was probably at least 50 people long. It was not yet 1:00. At 4:30 a big fat woman stood up from her desk and announced to her staff “we have to get the line moving, it’s 4:30.” They then staffed up all their available windows and cleared the place out in a half an hour. Just in time for them to all go home.
Yes, that is basically how it works.
