New data reveals that a staggering 335,000 federal workers left government work last year, with the vast majority quitting or retiring — only 11,000 were a result of layoffs from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, the Washington Post reports.

3. The reading the writing on the wall part

It would be cool if a dem president could make federal jobs attractive again. Rather than have federal workers expect work to be torment as Rusell Vought would like it to be.

These are people who are getting poached by the private sector..
