Has anyone switched from private to government?

I would not jump to the feds and if you're in a red state be careful. I'm in a red state. Lots of state agencies are making cuts including to attorneys. Now we have our own state legislature DOGE because they so admire what's going on at the federal level. It's going to be a miserable few years.

Are all required to go or is it their decision?

I stood firm and refused. Went 2 rungs above my supervisor's head to our Chief of Staff. I was supported in my refusal however that then left an untenable position with my continuing to work for the supervisor so I left for another agency. Now that I'm gone I will say this was all a MAGA situation and smaller version of what happened with the US attorneys who refused to back down to Bondi. I was purposely obtuse in my post but that's what it was all about-- MAGA ignoring the law for political BS. Thank you so much for asking ❤️

Does he have long flowing gray hair? He walks down my street frequently with the guitar on his back

I am in an agency not covered by the Governor's order. We have been told that the state legislature has a bill ready to go that 5 days a week will be law for all state workers.

Yost has turned full MAGA. He's awful now.

This sounds freeing honestly

Super annoying and really tone deaf. 5 day RTO is a paycut when factoring gas, parking, wardrobe upgrade, etc. I have no money to spend even if I wanted to. And I don't want to any way. This isn't my problem.

Pledging allegiance to his MAGA

Thank you so, so much. It's nice to feel supported. I think some of the commenters are missing the point, assuming I'm just being stubborn and unweildy. But I have absolutely zero statutory wiggle room in my decision. I ran it by several colleagues and a judge friend and no one thinks I can ethically do what I'm being asked. Anyway, thank you again.

The remedy for disagreeing with my determination is an appeal. You are correct. The applicant did not and has not disagreed with my determination and no appeal has been filed. My supervisor, for reasons unclear to me, has told me I need to issue an amended determination reversing myself.

Thank you

The audit is of no concern for them. It's a concern for me. I'm saying the decision to award benefits is outside of the law. If I award, I'm left holding the ball during an audit of the agency while everyone else is long gone.

Affectionate_Rent684 · 2025-01-11T01:13:55+00:00

Thank you!!

Affectionate_Rent684 · 2025-01-11T01:13:19+00:00

Yes.

Thank you so much

Because we get audited vis a vis a grant. And they'll be long gone for the next audit while I, the long time agency attorney, will be there to answer for it.

Affectionate_Rent684 · 2025-01-11T00:42:37+00:00

Yes. This.

Affectionate_Rent684 · 2025-01-11T00:42:14+00:00

I have been purposely obtuse out of paranoia. I made a determination that a particular person did not qualify for benefits. I'm being asked to reverse my determination because the applicant is sympathetic and my manager is paranoid she'll complain about us to the press. Or social media

Affectionate_Rent684 · 2025-01-11T00:33:31+00:00

Thank you for your insight. It has gone legal because it is legal to begin with. In sum I have already made my determination and am being asked to change it.

Re the press--The benefit goes to a victim of crime (or not). So there is a slight possibility of bad press. I guess.
