   Okay, this disturbs me: https://www.propublica.org/getinvolved/people-are-using-secret-facebook-groups-to-spread-hate-we-cant-see-we-need-your-help

   Although they acknowledge that there may be a need for social support between federal employees, they want sunlight brought in on ALL federal employees. Nobody can have a private life. All must be exposed to the light. If you have a "secret group" on Facebook where you only share details on foodbanks during government shutdown periods as well as funeral details about an increasingly fragile staff...we still gotta ventilate that apparently.

     And if we're all feeling the need to ventilate the lives of civil servants, everybody at my Post of Duty is still very scared. Our XO had a sudden heart attack 3 weeks ago and died 1 week ago. Nobody is taking it well even now. Flowers have been sent, the funeral happened, and people are still scared that perhaps they're past the point of burnout to where the job might actually hasten their deaths. Resignation papers and retirement packages are being dusted off for fast completion.
