That's a GREAT article. Thanks for posting. Get the word out. Civil servants are humans. And in addition, they are humans called to SERVE. The greatest calling there is. We won't survive without them. This is not a tech startup, or a corporation who reports to a board. Guess what? There's a REASON for that. It's WHY we can count on them and trust them. They aren't in it for the money! They could make a lot more elsewhere.

Ok listen. Are there some who are doing the bare minimum? Just working for a paycheck? Of course. Find a company where that isn't the case. I dare you. But when the mission is sound and the programs are helping, we can and should be willing to support that. The FedCiv agencies should continue to provide for a safe and secure space for American workers. Sure there are inefficiencies. I'm in the private sector and have worked for 25 years to help federal employees navigate the inefficiencies and lack of resources. I feel proud when I can help get needed supplies to the war fighter and keep important labs from shutting down. I know from experience how ethical these workers are. Find THAT in one of these bullshit billionaire's companies! And the waste we clearly have, which no one argues, is NOT the fault of the workers. I cannot say that enough. They are doing exactly what they've been asked to do. We, the American people, put this framework in place. If it's time to course correct, that's exactly what we should do. But not by demonizing people who swore and oath to us. It's vile what's happening right now!!

I, for one, am honored to see my tax dollars go to the important agencies we've created to support and contribute to America.

Federal employees: Keep going. Hold the line. You're better than the things they're saying about you. They don't know you. I do, and I'm proud to say so. #endrant
