DK: 我曾在私营部门工作多年，后投身公共服务，希望利用我的技能帮助美国人民。我参与了政府AI实施和福利系统改进等项目。特朗普总统上任后，美国数字服务更名为政府效率部（DOGE），工作环境发生了巨大变化。我们被要求参加一些不明身份人员的简短面试，之后项目方向不明确，工作陷入极度不确定性。DOGE解雇了表现优异的同事，并错误处理敏感数据，破坏关键系统，例如社会保障数据被错误使用，导致美国人民数据不安全。DOGE的一些行为与美国数字服务的初衷背道而驰，存在极高的道德和法律风险，例如可能违反隐私和安全标准，导致数据泄露，甚至被外国势力利用。我意识到，如果继续留在DOGE，我的行为可能会跨越极端的道德和法律界限，因此我选择辞职。 Elon Musk: 我们发现了数十亿美元的浪费、欺诈和滥用，并开始改革政府机构。我们犯了错误，但会迅速纠正。如果那些辞职的员工没有辞职，他们也会被解雇。 Caroline Leavitt: 白宫对大规模辞职的回应是“别让门在你们离开时踢到你们”。
