FDA staff return to crowded offices, broken equipment and missing chairs

The Associated Press spoke with more than a half-dozen FDA staffers who described long lines to park and clear security, followed by hours of hunting for space and supplies in offices that were not designed to accommodate the agency’s full workforce. The staffers spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.

Once inside, employees confronted broken desks, missing chairs and locked offices for which they didn’t have keys.

Once again, the staggering incompetence of the Trump administration on full display. This is what happens when you elect a full-fledged moron and his team of sycophants to the highest office. His otakus will of course argue that the FDA is corrupt and useless anyway, and then come crying when they get poisoned by their food.

Doesn’t sound very efficient.

All the employees told the AP that they brought their own drinking water Monday. That’s due to a monthslong issue involving Legionella, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires’ disease, which was detected at several FDA buildings. The General Service Administration, which oversees federal buildings, has been working on the issue since last summer.

The agency tasked with overseeing consumer safety is plagued with Legionnaires’ disease?!

In the U.S. when there’s a drive by shooting and innocent people get shot for just being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the gang bangers call them “mushrooms”.

Kind of the same thing here, except the majority of us are mushrooms as DOGE tramples over everybody and everything without an ounce of kindness or compassion.

The concept of "Efficinecy" held by the Musky man and Mango Mussolini, differs greatly from what "Efficient" realy is.

Elect a clown and now the US is a circus.

Do you feel great now?

And how is the office “crowded” and the parking “full” when the complaint is that “DOGE fired everyone!”?

The FDA is the latest agency scrambling to meet the Trump administration’s return-to-office mandate, part of a flurry of actions — including firings and buyouts — intended to radically shrink the federal workforce. Monday was the first day that all rank-and-file FDA staffers were required to report to offices, including the agency’s 130-acre campus just outside Washington.

Wow! Total incompetence. This is what happens when you hire unqualified and inexperienced people who only got the job because they are either friends or family of Trump, or donated lots of money to him, or pledged undying loyalty to him. He has a whole bunch of DEI hires in his administration. And, not to mention all the money Trump has wasted in his firing, and rehiring of people.

Why?

First, they are no DEI hires because NONE of them were chosen because of race, not sure why libs are even mentioning that, but having said that, Musk is doing the right thing and I am happy and think he should cut jobs in the Federal government deeper than what he is doing now, liberals always want to increase the size of government and that is exactly how things get messed up, the government itself is ineffective as well as inefficient and rarely does a good job other than to accumulate more debt.

"By 7:30 a.m., many on-campus parking lots were full, with cars parked along side streets, according to employees. Some workers reported waiting up to one hour to clear security checkpoints, and photos viewed by the AP showed lines of employees winding out doorways, along sidewalks and around corners."

That's means FDA has one too many employees? And you keep on criticizing DOGE?
