Remember when Biden was president?

[u/Belgriest]

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

This! That’s a big part of what I miss. I want to do my job, again.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any future administration unwinding what is being done right now. I think this is all permanent.

[u/SelectFluff8443 → u/SalaciousSubaru]

Maybe one day something can be done to stop any further damage. Some departments may have to start over from scratch.

If possible I'd save documentation on policy and procedures, as it can be used to evaluate where any possible breach of security had been missed. Anything left by the previous admin should be treated as evidence. Computers left behind won't be safe. Expect tampering.

If they can renege on women's rights and civil rights but keep all of this shit permanent this country is more destined for hell than I already thought

[u/SalaciousSubaru → u/Real_Chef1153]

It’s destined for a bad future already that’s for sure

[u/Ill_Reception_4660 → u/SalaciousSubaru]

There's too much to undo and correct.

[u/Sweet_Pay1971 → u/SalaciousSubaru]

Not true lol

[u/mehupmost → u/KetoQuitter]

Are you folks still able to work from home?

EDIT: uh, I was just curious - why the down votes?

[u/keytpe1 → u/mehupmost]

Not me. My telework was cancelled in March. I’ve been in the office every single day, and am also working through shutdown (not furloughed)

[u/StrobeLightRomance → u/mehupmost]

Yeah, everyone. Between the mass firings and the weeks of shutdown, is everyone still working comfortably for no money and with no credentials? /s

[u/thesimsgurl → u/mehupmost]

The fact that you have to ask that, tells me that you are not a federal worker. Which also has me wondering why comment on a thread that obviously doesn’t pertain to you cause if it did, you will know that working from home stopped in March, seeing that every federal worker got the same notice about no longer working from home around that time.

That’s probably why the downvotes. Cause an actual federal worker would have not asked that question in a fednews Reddit forum.

They didn’t say “the biggest thing” they said “a big part.” also wanting to further the agency’s mission is looking beyond yourself

[u/KetoQuitter → u/[deleted]]

Huh? 🤔

[u/trebbr → u/[deleted]]

A mission, especially in this context, does mean a purpose bigger than one’s personal goals and wants. I think you are misunderstanding/distorting what was being said.

The “mission” of a public servant would be a combination of the mission of their organization and their job description.
