The director for Data Science and Engineering for the United States digital service – what Elon Muschus renamed like that US -Düdel service– has stepped down from her position.
Anne Marshall, the former director, spent more than a decade as an engineer at Amazon before he came to USDS in September 2023. In December, She was promoted At Data Science and Engineering Director, but only served in the role for about two months before he resigned on Wednesday.
“Today I resigned from the digital US service. It was the greatest privilege of my life to do this work with this team of amazing people, ”“ Marshall wrote on LinkedIn on Wednesday evening. “Unfortunately, Doge released a third of you last week. These cuts were short -sighted, poorly informed and indiscriminately. The government and the American people will be worse from the loss of these people. “
Yesterday, Legacy USDS employees met with two representatives from Doge to discuss the future of the organization after around 50 product managers, designers and others were fired at USDDs on Friday evening. Amy Gleason, a former USDS official from Trump Administration, and Kendall Lindemann, formerly McKinsey & Company, a management consultancy, explained to the remaining employees that Doge would become increasingly practical in the organization in the coming weeks and months. Say USDS sources.
Gleason and Lindemann, who had not taken on their role at Doge, said that someone who had not already ended would be viewed as part of the Doge team in the future and that the two previously separated teams would work together. The consolidation of the two different groups, the new Doge members and the Legacy USDS employee, is a clear difference compared to the rest of the last month at the organization: At the beginning of this month, the USD workers cables announced that Doge shared a “firewall “Built up, Separation of the two groups. Until Tuesday, Stephanie M. Holmes, the only representative of Doge, who joined a wider USD team meeting, who identified himself as the new staff person in the group was joined.
“Everything is a dog in the future,” says a USDS source with WIRED.
Nevertheless, it is unclear who is legally conducted and not even know the Doge staff. On Monday, Joshua Fisher, the director of the White House office, administration, Published a sworn explanation in a lawsuit claimed that Musk, who has committed himself since Trump’s re -election and apparently led, did not lead as a formal “administrator”. Fisher described Musk role as a “senior advisor” to the president with “no greater authority than other high -ranking advisors of the White House”.
USDS employees are still in the dark with regard to the leadership. Multiple Legacy USDS employees give wired that they have no idea who the incumbent administrator is, even though they have requested their identity several times.
Neither Gleason nor Lindemann announced the names of the USD administrator or the deputy administrator on Tuesday. The White House did not respond to inquiries about WIRED comments.
“I don’t think Doge can continue to deliver the work of USD from USD,” wrote Marshall. “After the choice, no forks, no forced outputs, only active, unfortunately go away. This is not the mission that I came to serve. “
