The federal offices are back open and hundreds of thousands of federal workers have returned to work after the longest shutdown in history. But nothing is back to normal — federal workers say morale and trust in leadership are at an all-time low, tensions are high between furloughed staff and those who worked through the shutdown, schedules are slipping and projects are being pushed back, and more people are accelerating their retirement plans or leaving federal service altogether.
The recent shutdown, however, has just exacerbated the existing problems and added to what federal workers described as an already extremely trying year for the federal workforce.
“As if morale wasn’t already non-existent, it sure is now. I expect a surge of people to (quiet) quit and I expect the remaining players to be bombarded with work with no support or guidance from leadership,” one employee told Federal News Network.
“The mission is dead. Operations are barely running. Morale is toast,” another federal worker said.
“Everything about being a federal employee in 2025 has destroyed workforce morale — from constant [reduction-in-force] threats, to losing colleagues to early/forced retirements and firings, to the loss of any telework to facilitate work/life balance for working parents or senior caregivers, this is the worst professional year I have experienced in nearly 20 years of service to my country. Nothing about the current [Office of Management and Budget] approach to leadership has moved our country forward,” another employee said.
A Federal News Network survey, conducted online between Nov. 17-30, asked federal workers what it has been like going back to work after the 43-day government shutdown. Survey respondents were self-selected, and they self-reported information to verify their status as current federal employees.

Well if it’s that bad, then quit. Save us taxpayers some money.
Many are going to quit or retire. Excellent news.
Sounds like a great opportunity for these federal employees/ticks on national body to explore the wonderful world of private sector employment.
I’m crying crocodile tears. Welcome to the real world of employment that most of us work in versus the government gravy train.
Translation -— “We’re going to be expected to WORK! Sob!”
If they quit, oh gee, darn it! If they quiet quit then probably nobody will notice the difference.
Anastasia makes it sound so sad.
I know the shutdown must have been difficult for a lot of the federal workers; but other than hearing about it on the news every day, I didn’t notice it much at all. I know there are many important duties fulfilled by the federal workforce, but I wonder how many of them are really essential.
That was the goal. Glad to see success.
Feel-good story of the day!
Now complete the demoralization and kick off their exodus by stripping the grifters of their union protections.
Quiet quitting has been a way of life working in the Federal Government, especially since Trump has been President. This just means more are going to do it now so they need to be identified and culled. The gov't can only gain from getting rid of the deadwood.
All the govt worker-liberal deadbeats are so upset, sad. Not that all are liberal deadbeats, but plenty are.
Addition By Subtraction
Borrow from someone....you know absolutely that you will be paid when it's over.
Because of this cross-fertilization, the capabilities of the bureaucrats in Japan is well ahead of their American counterparts. In general, government workers in Japan (at all levels) are expected to work for lower salaries than their private sector equivalents in exchange for greater job security.
Oh yeh...lots of them were ordered to go to the office...instead of working in their pajamas.
month paid vacation.
poor federal workers!!!
LMAO
