Everyone is saying that they should have stayed. Wouldn’t it be funny if they did. As in, these 21 took the axe to distract from the loyal who stayed behind to document.

That said, there is value in making a stand. It encourages others to also make a stand.

That’s not what the article says. Federal employees in an organization established during the Obama administration resigned rather than assist DOGE.

I mean yes but when the government is doing shit you’re just not on board with and you either comply or resign, you’re pretty much forced out.

It’s like saying your wife is cheating on you & she told you she won’t stop. If her friends made the distinction that she technically didn’t divorce you, you wouldn’t really care.

For a second, I thought this was a response to an old Wordpress inquiry I made!

Yes but they were hired before it became doge in the previous admin. The title implies a bunch of Elons lackies quit due to some moral actualization but it’s just more legacy staffers being forced out

Should’ve stuck around and sabotaged things

Isn’t that the department renamed as DOGE?

From the article: WASHINGTON (AP) — More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”

They worked for DOGE. Not sure of the distinction you’re making.

1/3 of DOGE may have quit, but from the comments it’s clear maybe 1/13 commenters read the story beyond the headline 😉
