When president-elect Donald Trump said Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would recommend major cuts to the federal government in his administration, many public employees knew that their jobs could be on the line.
Malicious compliance. Do what you’re told, exactly what you’re told, no more, no less. Have you been doing “something” that nobody has told you to do, that’s outside of your job description? Stop doing that thing.
Make sure you take your time. Don’t hurry. Haste burns you out, stop it. Do not start working before the start of your day, and do not work past the end of it. If you are doing this, you are enabling wage theft. Go home, your time belongs to you.
Trump wants to run these agencies his way, with his people? Fine. In the context of people who need to keep drawing a paycheck, doing exactly as you’re told is appropriate.
Will this undermine these agencies? Of course, because they’re being run Trump’s way, with Trump’s people in charge. Will innocent bystanders experience fallout from this? Of course, because [same as above].
There’s no going back to the way it was. The only way out is through, and the quicker we get to the tipping point, the better.

The trick is to practice malicious compliance that targets Trump, and not American citizens who want watchdogs.
