Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) implemented aggressive cuts that caused mass firings across various federal agencies, leading to significant disruption. His departure has left the Trump administration scrambling to rehire employees previously let go from key departments like the FDA and HUD. Many fired employees are hesitant to return, especially those nearing retirement. The situation has led to a chaotic environment, where former employees express dissatisfaction regarding the abrupt decisions made under Musk's leadership, emphasizing a lack of strategic thought in the agency's restructuring.
"I was like, I definitely don't want to work for this administration, but, yes, I need a job, so put my name down, I have nothing to lose."
"They wanted to show they were gutting the government, but there was no thought about what parts might be worth keeping; now it feels like it was all just a game to them."
