White House staffers are sending out resumes and preparing to flee the chaos of the Trump administration.

Morale has plummeted amid the widening Russia investigation and the personnel changes at the top, which has left staffers without allies in an administration characterized by mistrust, reported Politico.

“There will be an exodus from this administration in January,” said one Republican lobbyist, who has personally heard from five officials looking to leave. “Everyone says, ‘I just need to stay for one year.’ If you leave before a year, it looks like you are acknowledging that you made a mistake.”

...

“There is no joy in Trumpworld right now,” said one adviser in close contact with staffers. “Working in the White House is supposed to be the peak of your career, but everyone is unhappy, and everyone is fighting everyone else.”

...

“Some people are a little nervous that corporations will hold their time in the Trump White House against them, particularly companies like Google or Uber or tech players,” said one GOP strategist who has fielded calls from staffers looking to leave.

1. If you're that stupid to work for a fascist dictator

Yeah, you're unemployable

[DK504]

21. Took the words right out of my mouth.

[dixiegrrrrl]

28. Dunno...seems big biz. likes to hire immoral degenerates. n/t

[machoneman]

38. Schadenfreude at work here!

Ah, you just gotta love them Germans for coming up with a single word that encompasses our joy at what's now happening in Trump world! Our taking of immense joy at the misery and crestfallen behavior of these mopes is great!

Oh, and hopefully if it does exist, they also.....rot in Hell someday!

Bwhahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahaahaha!

[Kaleva]

2. Can't say I feel sorry for any of them.

[Scarsdale]

36. Me. neither

Most people knew long ago that tRump is deranged, a liar, a cheater and a fraud. After seeing how many small contractors had to sue him to get paid, who would trust this orange ass? He, and his cohorts have damaged the office of president for many years to come. Who would think being president has any prestige now, after this fiasco? The gop OWNS this whole shit show, lock, stock and barrel.

[underpants]

3. I sure hope Omarosa is okay

[machoneman]

39. BHwahaha! Good one!

She may also rot in Hell someday!

[janterry]

4. Leaving BEFORE a year shows

the only good sense you have: regret and a willingness to do the right thing (however belatedly).

The longer they stay, in my book, the more complicit they are.

[SharonClark]

5. Maybe because most companies require competency in their employees

and not dumb loyalty to the right-wing of the repug party.

[brer cat]

7. Exactly.

The total incompetence of this maladministration makes a huge stain on a resume. Can you imagine one of them in an interview answering "What was your major accomplishment last year?"

[nycbos]

10. There is also the fact the longer they stay the higher their legal bills run.

I am sure they are thinking "If I get out know maybe I can limit my legal liability."

[Dave Starsky]

33. Most companies don't want sleazy dirtbags working for them.

Liability, reputation, perceived value, and all that. As hard as it may be for GOPers to believe, companies still care about that stuff.

Only a complete idiot would think otherwise. But, then, we are talking about an administration full of complete idiots.

[dalton99a]

8. +1

[Lochloosa]

9. That would be the last thing I would bring up in an interview.

As a construction purchasing manager in NE Florida, I have salespersons assume I'm a republican. Bad mistake.

I usually tell them I'm the most liberal person they have ever met. That usually ends the sales call.

[Dave Starsky]

34. I've had RW salespeople do the same to me.

WTF are they thinking? Oh, that's right...they aren't.

The best part of these encounters is that moment of silence and blank expression when they realized how badly they just fucked up.

[Lochloosa]

40. IKR. I shouldn't enjoy it so much.

[dlk]

11. Imagine That

[smirkymonkey]

12. I hope it haunts them for the rest of their lives.

You reap what you sow.

[Gore1FL]

13. On the bright side for them.

Maybe they won't be "forced" to have health insurance when they are unemployed.

[SunSeeker]

19. LOL

[NastyRiffraff]

14. They SHOULD be unemployable

but there's always Fox and Breitbart.

[keithbvadu2]

29. They haven't hired Spicer yet?

[SeattleVet]

43. Spicer has too little credibility left...even for Faux-Snooze.

He *might* have a shot with WND or 'News'Max, but any place that does anything approaching journalism will not look twice at someone that has lied repeatedly to real journalists.

[intheflow]

52. Are you kidding? Harvard just hired him.

In some elite circles he still has plenty of cred.

[Lars39]

15. Radioactive Orange.

Hope they wind up living under a damn bridge.

[Sunlei]

16. even their OWN Republican party won't hire 'trumpworld' employees.

[SunSeeker]

17. Good. Glad Spicer is still unemployed, that lying piece of shit. nt

[SeattleVet]

45. The only person interested in what Spicer has to say

is Robert Mueller.

[SunSeeker]

47. LOL

[samnsara]

18. they will never be able to scrub off the stink....

[kairos12]

20. They are in disgrace.

[KPN]

22. Fucking GOOD!

[Bettie]

23. Wow, imagine that

you willingly work for a madman and you wonder if others will want to hire you?

I'm sure there are criminal organizations out there who would be happy to have people with no moral compass or ethics to work for them. If you work for that orange thing, you've proven that you have neither, so it makes you more employable in some places.

[DFW]

24. Being a White House staffer shouldn't in itself be a job-killer

Having requested one after knowing they'd be working Trump, however, should. I would hope no one in HR for my outfit would consider someone who WANTED to be on that team.

[mgardener]

25. Too bad

They knew what Trump was like.... There are enough ex trump employees. Plus reality tv.
Don't feel sorry for them at all.

[nolabear]

26. I'm all in favor of acts of contrition.

Bring him down like the hyenas brought down Scar. Books, interviews, sworn testimony...purge your sins, ye damned!

[Honeycombe8]

27. I think it's a good thing to leave ASAP & admit yu made a mistake.

I'm not sure I believe there's going to be a large exodus. The fact that they're saying they're going to leave in Jan. is suspect, to me. Could just be people talking, like we all do ("geez, I don't like this job...I'm leavin' in January" having no real intention of doing so).

[keithbvadu2]

30. "and everyone is fighting everyone else" - Isn't that a business policy that Trump favors?

[Flaleftist]

31. They are just realizing this?

Really?

[mnhtnbb]

32. They're going to be leaving in January because his orangeness will be gone.

Can we hope for that?!?

I have zero sympathy for people stupid or hateful or bigoted enough to work for that slime bucket.

[iluvtennis]

35. It took them 8 months to come to recognize this...sorry don't have any

compassion for there plight. As my Granny Lorene used to say "Don't make your bed hard, cuz you gotta lie in it"

[NCjack]

37. These staffers need lawyers to scrub the shit of them. Oh, wait -- shit

doesn't scrub shit.

[Stallion]

41. Guess Its Time to Write That "Tell-All" Manuscript

....or call the Independent Prosecutor to regain your credibility

[niyad]

42. no sympathy for these enablers.

[SeattleVet]

44. Ethics matter.

I wouldn't hire someone so dense that it took them a year to figure out that they were supporting a scamming grifter by continuing to work for him. If they didn't blow the whistle on him within the first few days of seeing what he was really all about, they are complicit. Sticking around that long shows support.

[gratuitous]

46. "So, looking over your resume here . . . "

There seems to be a gap in your employment in the first part of 2017. What was that about?

"Oh, uh . . . heh, heh. It's a little embarrassing. I was in jail."

I see. Because when we did a background check, someone with your name was in the Trump administration during that time.

"No, no! Hand to God, it was jail!"

[ecstatic]

49. Lol. Nt

[NurseJackie]

48. They'll be wise to leave that part of their CV blank... or to describe the years as...

... "took some time-off for personal travel, independent study, goals reassessment, and spiritual reflection."

[keithbvadu2]

55. "more time with family" is a republican classic.

[Blue_Tires]

50. Fuck 'em

They're already underqualified and overcompensated

[catbyte]

51. Well, if Google or Uber or other tech players don't want them, there's always Facebook.

[Goonch]

53. MAP OF TRUMPWORLD

[intheflow]

54. Sean Spicer was just hired by Harvard.

I don't think any WH staffer will have problems finding work among the elite.

[Vinca]

56. And they're going to need jobs to pay off the legal fees. No donations for them.

[Cracklin Charlie]

57. Where is my tiny violin?
