So fed employees can grab their MAGA hats again? How is this not going to create more division and tension in already stressed-out offices? This isn’t about “First Amendment rights”-it’s about keeping the government workplace professional and free from political intimidation or grandstanding. The fact that this is happening while thousands of us are getting laid off just adds insult to injury. I’m pissed off, and honestly, I’m worried about what kind of environment we’re walking into now.

It’s hard enough to do our jobs without having to navigate political statements in the break room or at someone’s desk. I just hope leadership steps up and finds a way to keep the focus on our mission and the people we serve, not on political posturing. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way.

In my experience and observation over 25+ years across federal agencies, the vast majority of federal employees are democrats or left leaning. And in terms of being outspoken, often obnoxiously so, it’s more like 95%. Personally, I agree that it is disruptive and creates a hostile and unwelcome workplace environment when partisans are being openly (and often aggressively) political. But it’s interesting that there only seems to be concern about it when considering the possibility that it could be the tiny minority of people on the other side who might speak up.

You’ll find that places where people routinely carry weapons are typically conservative. Places where people are “helpers” lean more liberal. It’s not hard to make educated guesses.

Is there a website that shares announcements of recent contract wins by federal contractors across all federal agencies?

Sometimes the leadership does not even inform you on the status of a submitted proposal unless we win the work. I get why they are doing it but it would be great if there was an external source/website that would share this info instead of us waiting around to hear from them.
