I hate how every time this shit happens everyone jumps ship and just makes room for evil to backfill where possible. People stand your fucking ground and force these people out or make their lives miserable. Fight back!
Stop making it easy for them and allowing them to win at every turn!!
How is it a government employee's responsibility to "fight back" when the voters insist on installing the worst person as their boss? This is literally what the voters chose.
If the smart career employees want to get out while they can, more power to them. It's not their job to fight the will of millions of idiots.
So just because we lose you can’t do anything within your power about it? Way to roll over and die just because you lose an election.
Meanwhile if the same guy showed up on lemmy telling you how much their corporate job sucks and their boss is completely clueless, everyone would pile on to say they should quit.
Exactly. Imagine I'm a competent professional, just minding my own business and being good at my job, and suddenly I'm asked to become some kind of resistance hero and risk my career, my livelihood, and my family's future. Meanwhile, all around me I see the worst people installed in power and are actively looting and destroying my organization.
I could do that, or I could jump ship and make a decent living somewhere else.
The choice is simple, for those that have that opportunity.
What, you're not willing to traumatize (or for those of us who have already had to fight evil from an incompetent boss RELIVE our trauma) yourself for the 5 minutes of delay it'll earn? What a coward you must be!
Once I interned in Washington DC.. you start to understand the mindset there. Everyone all over the US blames DC for the dysfunction in our government. However, the opposite is true, you people sent these dysfunctional people to DC, so really it’s your fault.
Same thinking here. Most government bureaucrats are well-educated caring individuals who are really passionate about their subject area. Expecting them to tolerate a toxic workplace because the American people can’t choose competent leaders is unfair.
Look on the bright side, we'll have so much raw data from the worst-managed possible country-sized control group. Except that they'll probably react to attempts to document the results of their policies with book burnings and witch trials. Well, maybe we can smuggle in some camouflaged researchers or just watch the obituaries or something.
Why don't you go get a job in the FDA and fight?
Any texas medical personnel here?
I don't understand why foreign countries aren't scooping up this knowledge base. The brain drain in the USA is going to be so quick under this second Trump administration.
This is not a place for smart people
My friend is pretty smart and he left France to work in the US a while ago. He's pretty pissed at the election though, and afraid especially since his wife is black. He's seriously considering moving back to France.
He should do more than consider. Especially because of his wife.
I fear we're quickly becoming the next Sentinel Island, but not by choice.
Unfortunately as long as the US remains the global financial hegemon through the dollar, it'll continue to be the most lucrative place to obtain assets globally.
Double Unfortunately the dollar is probably going to reach 1985 plaza accords levels of strength vs other currencies, but without the global economy working together to help the US like it did before.
An overly strong dollar will likely destroy the US's ability to export goods.
They are. For example, the UK offers a High Potential Individual visa for recent graduates of prestigious universities. I'm sure they'll get more applications this year.
I wonder if this will be the next WW2-scale brain drain like what happened in Nazi Germany.
Thank you for reminding me to update my resume this afternoon... IT, but lack of a degree (and probably more important, no second language) is probably going to bite me in the ass for emigration purposes.
I feel like every member of HHS and other agencies should agree to just scream “GET FUCKED, BRAIN WORM” any time he says anything until they are fired or he quits.
I work in pharma, regularly writing and filing things with the FDA (and other agencies), and this has been a topic of conversation at work. The good news for people is that the EMA is still a thing in the EU. So, at least the large pharma companies (like the one I work for), are likely to not really change much about their quality control/processes/etc. because we will still need to conform to the EMA guidelines which are typically in line with the current FDA (sometimes more strict, sometimes less so). The real quality concern would be smaller companies that only file for products in the US. They would only need to meet whatever new FDA guidelines come into effect (if they even do, changing stuff like GMP guidance is extremely complicated and time consuming) since the US is their only market.
Until Trump bans exporting medication.
I'm pretty sure most of our medications are made overseas.
