Description
EPA Employees Fearful as Staff Cuts and Retaliation Claims Plague New England Office: Inside the EPA's New England branch, anxiety is soaring as employees fear repercussions for casual conversations. Since the Trump administration's efforts to shrink the EPA, the office has lost over 150 employees through layoffs, early retirements, and voluntary departures.

With dwindling staff and fear of retaliation, EPA employees are increasingly isolated, creating a tense and uncertain atmosphere within the agency.
