dear Joshua

You need to understand that “trust” is earned, it is not bestowed upon an organization just because it exists and spends all the budget money it is given.

Next you need to figure out where the toxic work environment came from before you blame the current heads of DOJ. Do you remember when President Joe Biden said he was pardoning Hunter because the DOJ was about politics and not about “justice?” Do you remember when the DOJ did horrible things to J6 ers? How did you feel about DOJ cutting Epstein special deals? How did you feel about the sweet deal that DOJ cut with Hunter Biden over taxes, before public option turned on the IRS and DOJ?

So Joshua, is the culture at DOJ in need of changing? Let me help you. It does need to change. That was what the election was about. Trump is working hard to change the culture of the federal government in all things. You can't sit on a high horse and yell that the current leadership has created a toxic work environment. You have to realize that the current DOJ is also responsible for its culture, and that you approve of that status quo culture.

You have a high visible position at DOJ. Your action is saying you support the past sins of the DOJ and don't want any changes or have DOJ employees to take any responsibility for what they have done wrong. Therefore, you are part of the more toxic status quo environment at DOJ. Good bye.

He sits on the board of directors for a group that links PTSD vets with dogs to help them out, here is his bio there:

Joshua Stueve is a Senior Communications Advisor and Spokesman at the U.S. Department of Justice. From 2014 to 2021, Stueve was the Director of Public Affairs at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA). From 2010 to 2014, Stueve served as the Public Affairs Officer for the National Intrepid Center of Excellence at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Stueve served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1998-2007, spending five years as an infantryman and four years in public affairs. He is a proud graduate of Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, Camp Lejeune’s School of Infantry, the Defense School of Information, and The Ohio State University. Stueve is the proud father of three daughters and lives in Old Town Alexandria with his wife and their spoiled rotten dog, Amos.

The ironic part is none of these clueless government workers u nderstand the toxic and fearful work environment they created for us NORMAL AND MORAL people. Flies right over their crying pillow stuffed heads as they wave their crayons.

“Musk himself has repeatedly belittled federal workers, most recently in a Cabinet meeting earlier this week.”

Musk belittled Cabinet Members in the meeting this week ?

Translation: I am a deep state democrat who cannot do my job when the deep state is under the attack. I have no integrity and will therefore resign in protest of Trump weeding out the corruption in my beloved deep state.

“Given the opportunity to resign, before being thrown out the door?”

More than likely.

In the fedgov if you quit you have the opportunity to come back sometime and somewhere else. Seen it many times....get canned and your fate is sealed as far as ever working in the federal government again.

I wonder if he could take a few friends with him. Maybe Trump and Musk can offer a bonus for getting friends and family to quit.

“Simply put, I cannot continue to serve in such a hostile and toxic work environment, one where leadership at the highest levels makes clear we are not welcomed or valued, much less trusted to do our jobs,” wrote Stueve

Well, he got that part right.
