The article captures the shock and reactions of two former United States Digital Service employees regarding its transformation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Donald Trump’s administration. Both employees describe a hostile atmosphere during interviews conducted by DOGE, marked by aggressive questioning and efforts to pit colleagues against one another. Their experiences highlight the unsettling environment created post-inauguration, prompting negative feelings about the new direction of the organization and its leadership tactics.
I was completely shocked on Inauguration Day when the executive order came out that we were to become DOGE.
They were trying to turn us against each other to some degree by asking who should be fired.
If folks tried to make the interview more conversational, things would get kind of hostile.
What makes you exceptional? What are you the best in the world at? It was an interesting way to start.
