Federal workers are raising alarms about the adverse effects of recent workforce cuts on government efficiency, which they say have been initiated by the DOGE-led initiatives. Agencies such as the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency are experiencing significant operational difficulties, with workers describing these departments as essentially ‘set up for failure.’
According to sources, the reduction in staff has resulted in a marked decline in taxpayer support for government services, with many departments now operating at a drastically reduced capacity. The concerns highlight the potential long-term implications of these cuts on public services and national priorities, particularly in critical areas such, as climate and energy management. This situation underscores the growing debate over the effectiveness of government spending and the balance between fiscal responsibility and public service delivery.
