Many federal workers are finding it difficult to transition out of their roles due to bureaucratic hurdles. The government's actions are being likened to a toxic ex, making it hard for employees to move on. With a desire to start anew, workers are frustrated by the slow process, saying 'they want us gone' but are making it hard to leave. This phenomenon is affecting government employees nationwide, highlighting the need for improved transition processes and employee support. As workers struggle to navigate the system, the issue has sparked concerns about employee retention and talent acquisition in the federal sector, including topics like career development and change management.
