People who work at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy are having a hard time coping with the election of Donald Trump as president, with many reporting depression and some being advised to take sick leave, according to an article published Friday by Environment and Energy Publishing (E&E).
“U.S. EPA employees were in tears,” the article stated. “Worried Energy Department staffers were offered counseling.
“Some federal employees were so depressed, they took time off,” it stated. “Others might retire early.
“And some employees are in downright panic mode in the aftermath of Donald Trump's victory,” the article said. …

Starting 1 Feb 2017 remaining EPA employee job is to return government property and assets to the archives (think end of Raiders of the Lost Ark )
Not all EPA employees are bad, but their leadership under the Democrats has been batshit crazy and Marxist, including Carol Browner (International Socialist Organization) and her later successor Lisa (?) Jackson. Gina McCarthy is a question mark but she’s carrying out her predecessor’s policies, some of which are based on bad/junk science, doctored data, misinformation, insufficient data, and false premises.
Leftist doomsday predictions and lies have pushed ever questioning science out the door in most places, to be replaced by Voodoo Science like that of the old Soviet Union and Lysenko’s fraudulent research.
That said, some things the EPA does are good, but you usually don’t hear much about them because they are not sensational, are based on reality and real science, and involve common sense approaches to often complex environmental problems.
I’ve worked in this field for 25 years and have a lot of respect for real science, but what the EPA and its “environmental doomsday supporters have done is to relegate real science (based on Kemeny’s Scientific Approach) to a landfill and replaced it with Marxist bullshit and environmental insane practices.
If President Trump can get a handle on the nutjobs at EPA and get rid of them, and have peer reviews of those left and what their jobs are, then we might get a much saner environmental policy and agency than we have had in many years.
Cleaning up the environment is a job for all of us but it cannot be done at the expense of the working class and the honest scientists who challenge leftist mantras and flawed data.
I am so not sympathetic for this tyrannical group who have done so much to damage the lives of American citizens. The best way I know of to let you know who they are is to refer you to a little known book I read quite a while back. It is GOVERNMENT BULLIES by Senator Rand Paul. Here is the description of it from Amazon. It is hard to put into a few words how despicable the EPA has been. This quote is the best I could do.
“Government regulations are out of control. They dictate how much water goes into your commode, and how much water comes out of your showerhead. They determine how hot the water needs to be in your washing machine, and how many miles to the gallon your car must achieve. Since the Patriot Act, your banking records, your gun registration, and your phone bill are easily accessible by government snoops. Mothers are arrested for buying raw milk. Families are fined for selling bunny rabbits without a license. Home and property owners are strapped with obscene fines, entangled in costly legal messes, and sent to federal prison, all for moving dirt from one end of their land to another. Unelected bureaucrats, armed with arbitrary rules and no need to back them up, stonewall and attack American citizens at every turn. The damage can be overwhelmingly taxing-—financially, emotionally and even physically.
And who is being held accountable? Government regulation and red tape run amok in Washington, and honest, tax-paying citizens are the victims of an administration’s misuse and abuse of power. Now, Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, takes an in-depth look at the legislation that is trampling the rights of ordinary citizens, strangling their ability to conduct private, everyday activities without egregious government interference. He highlights outrageous searches, seizures and arrests, and points to thousands of regulations that have been added to the books since Obama took office. Most importantly, he charts a direction out of this mess, and toward renewed freedom for all Americans.
These stories are of everyday Americans badgered and harassed by their own government-—the very institution that is supposed to serve us all. This gross breach of our constitution is as frightening as it is real, and GOVERNMENT BULLIES is a call to action against it.”
I suspect that there are EPA employees happy that Trump won the election. EPA has an irrational activist in charge. Science and facts did not matter to the head of the agency.
There has to be a subset of employees looking forward to change because they are more than likely to get a genuine scientist as the new head of the agency.
It is difficult to work for someone with a disordered mind.
Wouldn’t mind seeing every EPA employee jump off very tall buildings.
Worthless bunch of blood suckers.
I have a vision of several Government Agencies that deserve classical decimation (1 in 10) haircuts. EPA, State, IRS (where Lois Learner worked 50%), Education (Diversity), Justice (Diversity), FCC (Diversity) etc. Anyone see a pattern?
They’re worried that “Trump has promised to repeal some of the rules they’ve toiled on for the last eight years”?
They have a lot more to worry about than that. How about UNEMPLOYMENT?
Difficult to do with the SS preceding him. Kind of spoils the surprise.
Wow I’m glad our federal employees don’t have some hardened ideology...
RIF = Reduction in Force (aka layoff, in the real world)
This is what results when whole divisions of the Federal Bureaucracy become politicized.
Change the guard, the losers have to go!
EPA: You’re Fired!
My friends daughter is a senior majoring in environmental studies at the University of Washington.
After Trump won, she stated that she wished she had majored in Art History.
They better be careful, if they cry too much their residence will be declared a federal wetland and they will face eviction.
Any major that has the word "studies" in its name is likely to be worthless in the job market.
There's a big difference between "studying" and "doing".
Maybe it can be engineered to be the next best national resource!
Hopefully they will quit.
Why weren’t the snow flakes encouraged to resign? If President Trump is such a threat to their well-being, they should quit.
Those would indeed be some sweet tears while she rots away in prison for life!
