Environmental Protection Agency employees have not accepted Donald Trump’s victory and are still “coming to work in tears” more than two months after the election.

“At EPA headquarters, the mood remains dark,” ProPublica reported Wednesday. “A longtime career communications employee said in a phone interview Tuesday that more than a few friends were ‘coming to work in tears’ each morning as they grappled with balancing the practical need to keep their jobs with their concerns for the issues they work on.”

Trump’s victory has been tough for bureaucrats. The State Department held stress workshops after the election so they would not “become paralyzed by fear.” EPA employees were caught crying before, just after the election, as were White House aides. Energy Department employees were granted counseling. Sobbing staffers greeted Hillary Clinton on Capitol Hill a month after her loss.

As opposed to the MILLIONS their BS rules have put out of work over the decades?

No sympathy from me.

"Working on issues" is also known as propagandizing.

They should be relieved of this terrible burden by being fired.

“I would have hired a violinist to play at the employee’s entrance.”

Absolutely EPIC idea, LOL! Of course, a solo trombone player could play during the violin players’ breaks.

I know the reason locally. We went from 20,000 steelworkers down to about 400.

It's amazing how clean your environment can be when you have no industry to speak of. Of course, that would mean you have no high-paying industrial jobs, either, but hey...life's full of little trade-offs like that. ;-)

Karma! I’d much rather see them in tears than Americans who are trying to make America work.

But they don’t care about the air in China.
They just wanted to kill business here in America.

I grew up in Pittsburgh. I remember old guys who worked in the mills. They’d come out on their porch in the morning and inhale deeply.

If the air was too clean they actually got upset.
It meant too many guys weren’t working.

Prolly worried about getting subpoenaed to testify as to why they altered / destroyed government documents related to climate research.

“But it’s a religion to them.”

Absolutely right. This can’t be repeated enough. The government should not be funding a religion.
