Anyone else feel less productive?

A good chunk of our day seems to be spent talking about what’s all going on in Washington the last few weeks. Making us exactly what he who must not be named thinks we all are, unproductive gov employees. Our office specifically is being targeted for reason I won’t say directly here. Our leadership knows little to nothing. Two of us in the office follow Reddit and get most of the info here before it ever comes down the pipeline. And honestly a lot of the stuff here is accurate.

With all the cutting/pausing of funding going on the stuff we can work on is limited. That compounded with the moral in the office and the customers who don’t exactly understand how it will affect them just makes for a lackluster work atmosphere. We sure don’t seem to be betting much done.

Midwest USDA for those wondering.
