Researchers want to hear from people who have left federal service in the past year. The Federal Employee Exit Survey is nonpartisan, academic, IRB-approved, confidential, and takes about 20 minutes. If that is you, or you know someone, please share: pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

A nonpartisan academic team is collecting the experiences of departed federal employees: why people left and what that means for the government. Confidential, IRB-approved, and it takes about 20 minutes. Former feds, your perspective matters: pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

As we close out Public Service Recognition Week, let’s remember that the work does not end here. This week, we told stories and put faces to the numbers - the thousands of public servants laid off, the programs dismantled, the communities left without critical services.

The moment we’re in is a reminder of why public service matters. The attacks on the federal workforce in 2025 didn't just eliminate jobs. They weakened the systems we all depend on. Rebuilding those systems will take people who believe the work is worth doing.
