Throughout it (minus 1 guy from the SF office) it was “all is well, we’re fucking pumped to be here, nothing to see, nothing big going on.”At one point, the DAS said “ignore the fake media- they really don’t know what’s happening” but during the “Q&A” session he states “we don’t know, we have no idea when the RIF notices will come, we have no idea what offices are being closed, we have no real operational control over our own websites anymore, but y’all need to just smile and nod. We’re “leadership” but cannot give you any answers nor any assurances we will advocate for our agency’s mission or the people doing it.There will be cake following this in the auditorium” (only applied to people in HQ, in DC.)I got so mad at being dismissed, gaslit, and lied to I said “FUCK YOU” loud enough that the room heard me (we were via Teams, so only our local audience heard it.) “Do more with less” is a great policy of EVERYONE has to do more with less. After the townhall, the leadership went down and celebrated the unveiling of Ben “where’s my luggage?”Carson’s painting in the lobby. But we’ve been doing more with less than ever before- we are chronically understaffed, the staff we do have is aging out, demoralized, or will likely be terminated as soon as the RIF is announced. My boss pulled me in after the meeting and told me that it was unprofessional and that they’re already trying to manage the boiling political undercurrent in our office (I’m guessing between the LAMF folks and the rest of us).I had to take a day away from my office for a “mental health day” today so I can try to pull myself together enough to want to go back and play the game with them on Monday.More than ANYTHING else, I would like this administration to hit with a straight bat. If you’re going to fucking do it, do it so we, as people, can plan for our next steps to cover our families and personal responsibilities.</p><p>------</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1jrc7st/im_so_tired_of_being_gaslit_and_lied_to/?utm_source=ifttt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/</span><span class="invisible">1jrc7st/im_so_tired_of_being_gaslit_and_lied_to/?utm_source=ifttt</span></a></p><p>r/fednews is the main subreddit for US Federal government workers.</p><p>This robot is NOT affiliated with r/fednews.
