  • This was years and years in the making. Many of which Democrats held more power. Basically they governed so poorly for so long, some Americans felt like voting for this kind of change was their best option.

    You may want some examples of stuff that people may think needs to change:

    • We have an immigration approach so terrible, it has left millions of people without a path to be here legally
    • The perception of ineffency across Federal agencies (which is fair if you’ve ever had to weight for VA services, sit in a social security office or try to get global entry)
    • The overall sense that the rich are getting richer while most Americans fall behind

    Usually not at all. More recently, the polical influence on our economy is that impacting everything from hiring (we were gonna hire, but now we aren’t) to investing in the business (we think we need to store cash because a downturn is looming). Apparently it is difficult to improve an economy, but one can be wrecked in 45 days.





  • Removing the large swaths of the workforce in an agency does not automatically mean the remaining people will become more efficient and pick up the extra work. They need processes, tools, and training to support the increased workload - and even then it is possible that the RIF was too much. I’m not even sure a “scalpel” would be effective without a way to redirect the blood. Are these guys trying to be a case study in the HBR on what not to do?
