    How is it a government employee’s responsibility to “fight back” when the voters insist on installing the worst person as their boss? This is literally what the voters chose.

    If the smart career employees want to get out while they can, more power to them. It’s not their job to fight the will of millions of idiots.

      So just because we lose you can’t do anything within your power about it? Way to roll over and die just because you lose an election.

        Meanwhile if the same guy showed up on lemmy telling you how much their corporate job sucks and their boss is completely clueless, everyone would pile on to say they should quit.

          Exactly. Imagine I’m a competent professional, just minding my own business and being good at my job, and suddenly I’m asked to become some kind of resistance hero and risk my career, my livelihood, and my family’s future. Meanwhile, all around me I see the worst people installed in power and are actively looting and destroying my organization.

          I could do that, or I could jump ship and make a decent living somewhere else.

          The choice is simple, for those that have that opportunity.

            What, you’re not willing to traumatize (or for those of us who have already had to fight evil from an incompetent boss RELIVE our trauma) yourself for the 5 minutes of delay it’ll earn? What a coward you must be!
