Is it okay to continue to work for a (non-defense) federal government agency under an administration hostile to my own moral and ethical beliefs? - eviltoast

Should I be looking for a different job?

    Do you feel that your “customers” are the administration or the general public? Whom do you feel that you are serving in your job? Do you feel that the directions given to you by your administration are legal and safe and reasonable? Do you feel that the directions given to you by your administration cause a disadvantage to yourself or your “customers”?

    You could try to clutch at straws to justify staying in your job. You might be able to reasonably determine that your feelings for your administration don’t affect the performance of your job. Maybe staying in your job is the best way to benefit your “customers” and obstruct the administration.

    Only you can decide how you feel and what is an appropriate match for your own moral and ethical position.
