It's almost a sense of dread, as in, what will happen to us ... like the movie music when the shark is coming ... and it's you Freepers fault for backing the Donald!

How many of us make that much actually working.
At the Environmental Protection Agency, a group of scientists strategized this past week about how to slow-walk President Trump’s environmental orders without being fired.
At the Treasury Department, civil servants are quietly gathering information about whistle-blower protections as they polish their résumés.
At the United States Digital Service — the youthful cadre of employees who left jobs at Google, Facebook or Microsoft to join the Obama administration — workers are debating how to stop Mr. Trump should he want to use the databases they made more efficient to target specific immigrant groups."
In my mind .. and I do work in the civil service .. the bureaucracy functions as an adjunct to the Executive Branch of the government. The function of the civil service is to carry out the day-to-day operations of the government, of which the President is the head of the Executive Branch.
I liken it to working in any other type of office. If I don't like the way the boss is running things, I first try to approach him/her to find out why they are doing what they're doing and suggest better, more efficient ways to do what we're doing. However, in the end, I either do it the way he/she wants .. following the rules of the office .. or I can quit if it bothers me enough.
Once I quit, I can tell everyone why I quit. Until that time, I grumble to myself and do my job as required ... [shut up and sing] ...
Conspiracy to commit sedition. These "scientists" should be fired immediately and then indicted.

There is no “science” involved in the activities of the EPA, only propaganda in the guise of ‘science.’

November 8 2016 The Dread Trump Decision
The heat from their rage warms me on the cold nights. The chill from their fear cools me on a hot day. Their tears slake my thirst.
They ought to worry when they get paid twice as much to do less than half the work like the Full-Time Employees (FTE) where I work. Some are vets and all due respect to them for their service but it doesn’t mean they are entitled to a $90k/yr job where they hardly lift a finger while contractors do the heavy listing. Those folks can be fired and you’d never notice.
"Snowflake! Snowflake!! That's my safe word! Stop! -- Snowflake!!"
Since many of them have outlived their usefulness maybe its time to ‘take the pill’?

Or maybe NOT a shark ...
“Across the vast federal bureaucracy, Donald J. Trump’s arrival in the White House has spread anxiety, frustration, fear and resistance among many of the two million nonpolitical civil servants who say they work for the public, not a particular president.”
Really, who cares what they think? They have a job to do. Every single one of these people has a superior in their place of work, and the ultimate superior to each and every one of them is the President of the United States. While they certainly have the right as individual citizens to like or dislike any politician, or to vote for or against any politician, while in the workplace they have a simple choice: either do their job (as defined by their superiors), or not. If the answer is “not,” then they can find work elsewhere. But good luck with that one, as failing to even be able to do the work of a federal bureaucrat is not exactly the highest recommendation for another job.
Why doesn’t some reporter ask them how they thought the coal miners felt?
When you job is banishing energy, once you have banished all energy sources, there is no need for you anymore.
If you’ve been scrupulously doing your work according to your job description, you’re probably not in much danger. If you’ve been sandbagging, gooofing off and/or doing political bleep, be very afraid. Serves you right!
This is fun to watch.
