Major Layoffs at the State Department - Mystic Wanderer - 02-17-2017

It's a bloodbath at the State Department

That's the headline on one article, as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department.

Quote:Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.

Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.

The staffing changes came as Tillerson was on his first foreign trip — attending a G-20 meeting in Bonn, Germany.

“As part of the transition from one administration to the next, we continue to build out our team. The State Department is supported by a very talented group of individuals, both Republicans and Democrats,” State Department spokesman RC Hammond told CBS.
“We are appreciative to any American who dedicates their talents to public,” he added.

This week’s round of firings marks the second time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month.
Four top officials were cleared out of the building at the end of January.

“As is standard with every transition, the outgoing administration, in coordination with the incoming one, requested all politically appointed officers submit letters of resignation,” a State Department spokesman said at the time.

No one should probably feel comfortable that they are secure in their job just because of the level where they work. 
When Trump said, "Drain the Swamp", that's exactly what he meant!

With all the leaks, back stabbing moles, and feet dragging all the new department heads need to do some serious house cleaning

It needs doing. These little fiefdoms that have the power to cause misery are dark
safe pigeon-holes that guarantee a great pension and benefits that most people
in America can only dream of.

Sic 'em Mr. Tillerson!

Hmm... so, this is where the "shadow government" works?   tinysurprised 



Quote:Americans were stunned to learn of the State Department rogue Shadow Government which operated in secret from the 7th floor. They were behind the corrupt handling of the Clinton documents.

CBS News announced that Rex Tillerson, the new Secretary of State, fired most of the 7th floor policy makers who so famously called themselves the “shadow government”.

Policy will be controlled by the White House, not professional diplomats, CBS stated.
CBS bemoans the loss of the shadow government’s policy-making expertise.
