DOGE Is Putting Major Government Efficiency Projects at Risk

“18f was a popular technology store,” he told a worker 18f Wire. “There is a giant hole that left 18f closing. I have requested requests from all parts of the country to a large extent 18F capacity before closing.”

Like 18F, the US digital service, which has been renamed the Trump administration in Doug, has witnessed waves of shootings and resignation. On February 14, about $ 50 of employees were completed, mainly affecting project managers and designers. Last week, another 21 resigned, as he wrote in an open letter obtained by WIRED that the “burnt land approach” leads people who already have the skills necessary to reform government problems.

Itir Cole, a USDS project with diseases and prevention control centers (CDC), resigned from its website last week after launching the majority of its team and closing them from their computers before they could pass their responsibilities.

They are destroyed and Samon. Cole says about Dog: “The mission has changed. I did not register to work in Elon. I participated in working for the American people. And when that changed, I decided to leave. “

For more than a year, Cole helped manage the development system for the Disease Control Center, which helped track pathogens and dangerous diseases such as anthrax and Zika throughout the country.

“He puts the weak population in more vulnerable situations,” says Cole. The program may die. There are not enough people to work on it. I know that people who were left at the Disease Control Center are working hard to find alternative plans. “

Inside the technology transformation services in GSA (TTS), which previously included 18f, the recent shootings led to the remaining technicians. The sources told that some employees have been resetting to more general projects such as Login.gov, where Americans are logging in to access benefits such as VA services, social security and Cloud.gov, which provide cloud hosting services for other agencies.

“The great change in how people think about things, why did they meet everyone about their skills and disgust if they only raise the full excesses of TTS?” The current TTS worker says. In early February, youth engineers, such as “Big Balls” Coristine, met with TTS workers, demanding information about their work and sometimes requesting a review of software instructions.

At the Thursday town hall meeting, Thomas Shaid, a former Tesla engineer now at the head of TTS, announced that the agency’s workforce discounts were not over. “He sat there, four inches from the screen, reading all the time from his printed text and seemed/looked like he recorded the hostages of a video of proving life,” says one of the TTS employees.

During the next few weeks, Shaid said that the technology arm from GSA will decrease by 50 percent. Any projects that are not required under the law will be closed, and the agency will prioritize more general services such as Login.gov, Cloud.gov and Fedramp, which promotes the adoption of safe cloud services across the government.

The group’s DOGE executive order only worked during the beginning of July, so it is not clear what will happen after these projects and teams.
