Brian Greenberg :verified:<p>The Story of DOGE, as Told by Federal Workers: The recent WIRED investigation into the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is a sobering, essential read. It documents, through hundreds of firsthand accounts, what happened when the ethos of a tech takeover was applied to the federal government with brute force. The reporting makes it clear this was not an exercise in optimization, it was a cultural and operational dismantling of public institutions.</p><p>Based on the investigation:</p><p>💥 Tech Culture as a Cudgel: The "move fast and break things" philosophy was not used for innovation. According to the report, it was used to bypass safeguards, ignore institutional knowledge, and enforce compliance through fear.</p><p>🛡️ Deliberate Process Destruction: The accounts from federal workers show that security protocols and established processes were not streamlined, they were simply ignored. This introduced massive risk under the guise of "removing red tape."</p><p>🧠 The Human Toll: The most critical finding is the human cost. The report details a catastrophic loss of morale and institutional knowledge, driven by intimidation and instability. This wasn't just a reduction in force, it was an exodus of expertise.</p><p>❓ The Lingering Aftermath: According to WIRED, while Musk and the official DOGE structure are gone, its operatives and methods remain embedded. The key takeaway is that the disruption hasn't ended, leaving critical agencies in a state of purgatory.</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/oral-history-doge-federal-workers/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wired.com/story/oral-history-d</span><span class="invisible">oge-federal-workers/</span></a><br><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/GovTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GovTech</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RiskManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RiskManagement</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cloud</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a></p>
