From a letter obtained by the AP:

“We swore to serve the American people. However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments. We will NOT use our skills as technologists to compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services. We will not lend our expertise to carry out or legitimize DOGE’s actions.”

GOOD FOR THEM!!

    I think I would not resign but refuse to cooperate and cite the oath of office.

    The tech employees resigned from the government rather than help DOGE. It was not DOGE employees who resigned.

    Wasn’t DOGE already filled with "loyalists " which would mean their loyalists are turning because the pressure is too high.

    They were US Digital Service (what Musk took over and renamed DOGE) employees before Musk took over. Not loyalist but still a striking development.

    Weren’t these hardcore Groypers devoted to the cause? If this is real, what stage of the plan was Elon on that even they couldn’t stomach what they were doing?

    This is a byproduct of our resistance. Call it a win and support these people.

    We need good people to subtly sabotage everything they do so that we can run out the clock.

    Government workers from the office of digital services that was turned into DOGE. It’s more of the same. People with integrity quit and leave the field wide open for the hackers. I understand their sentiment but couldn’t they leak some audio or video instead so we can put an end to this? It’s all highly illegal.

    Are they actual Doge employees or government workers that refuse to work with Doge staff?

    Just to be clear, these are not Musk’s hand-picked henchmen that are resigning. These are the employees DOGE inherited with its hostile takeover of the US Digital Service. And good for them.
