USDS engineering director resigned: “This is not the mission I came to serve”

Director of Science and Engineering of Digital Service of the United States – which Elon Musk rebranded as US service– Proothy gave from his position.

Anne Marshall, now the former director spent more than a decade as an Amazon engineer before joining the USD in September 2023 in December, She was promoted of the Director of Science and Data Engineering, but served only about two months in the role before resigning on Wednesday.

“Today I resigned from the US digital service. It was the biggest privilege in my life to be able to do this work with this team of amazing people, “Marshall Written in LinkedIn on Wednesday eveningS “Unfortunately, Dog chose to fire one -third of them last week. These abbreviations were short -sighted, unscrupulous and indiscriminate. The government and the American people will be more than the loss of these people. “

Yesterday, Legacy USDS employees met with two Doge representatives to discuss the future of the organization, after Friday evening firing of about 50 product managers, designers and more in USDS. Amy Glison, a former USD employee of the Trump Administration, and Kendall Lindeman, a former McKinsey & Company, a management consulting firm, explained to the other employees that Dogi will become more practical in the organization in the coming weeks and months, USDS sources They say.

Glison and Lindeman, who did not provide their roles in DOG, said that anyone who was no longer terminated would be considered part of the Dodge forward team and that the two teams would merge. The consolidation of the two different groups, the new Doge members and the hereditary staff of the USDS, is an emphasized difference compared to the rest of the last month in the organization: earlier this month, USDS workers told Wired that Dodge had built a “firewall” Division of the two groupsS Until Tuesday, the only representative of the Dogi who joined the broader meeting of the Legacy USDS team was Stephanie M. Holmes, who identified himself as the new HR man of the group.

“It’s all a dog ahead,” a USDS source told Wired.

Still, it is not clear who legally manages Doca and they do not even know Dodge’s employees. On Monday Joshua Fisher, Director of the White House Administrative Office, Issued an oath statement in a court case Reaching that Musk, who has supported and appears to lead to dog after Trump’s re -election, is not leading to Dog as his official “administrator”. Fisher described Musk’s role as nothing more than the “senior councilor” of the president with “no more authority than other senior White House advisers.”

USDS staff is still in the dark with regard to leadership. Numerous USDS hereditary officials tell Wired that they have no idea who the current administrator is, even though they want their identity many times.

Neither Glison nor Lindeman revealed the names of the USDS administrator or a deputy administrator on Tuesday. The White House did not respond to requests for a comment from Wired.

“I do not believe that Dog can continue to deliver the USD work based on their actions so far,” Marshall wrote. “I leave optional, no forks, no forced exits, just actively, unfortunately, to move away. This is not the mission I came to serve. “
