Anne Marshall has resigned from her position as the director of data science and engineering for the United States Digital Service after just two months. Her resignation follows significant layoffs where one-third of the team was let go, which she deemed short-sighted and harmful to the mission of USDS. The restructuring involves merging the DOGE team with legacy USDS staff, moving towards a more hands-on approach from DOGE, which has caused concern among remaining employees about the direction and stability of the organization.
"Today I resigned from the US Digital Service. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be able to do this work, with this team of amazing people. Unfortunately, DOGE chose to fire one third of them last week. These cuts were shortsighted, ill-informed, and indiscriminate."
"Gleason and Lindemann explained to the remaining staff members that DOGE would become increasingly more hands-on within the organization over the coming weeks and months. Anyone not already terminated would be considered part of the DOGE team going forward."
