Civilian Workforce Morale Plummeting at Pentagon

Morale in the Defense Department's civilian workforce is collapsing following a year of cuts and a hiring freeze that has left many offices understaffed and employees in fear of further reductions in force. Just 9.1% of Dept of Army employees agreed that "Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth's leadership generates high levels of motivation in the workforce." .

Pete Hegseth is not a good human being

Comments

"The survey of some 11,000 federal workers produced results in line with personal stories from Defense civilians about low morale, drops in productivity, and fear of involuntary cuts that have hung over the civilian workforce for the past year.

Some 14% of DOD's formerly 795,000-strong civilian workforce left in 2025, either by voluntary or involuntary means, with about 30,000 hired in jobs exempt from the ongoing hiring freeze."
