HUD starts loosing many of the employees it hired in 08-09. A small support group of "those who don't want to quit, but might anyway" is formed by a supportive SES. We call it Under 5.
It gets worse. HUD continues to languish at the bottom of EVS/Best Places to Work scores, and is named the "Worst Place to Start a Federal career." Under 5 starts working in earnest to upgrade the Department.
It gets better. Any given week 50-70 HUD employees are finding extra time to improve the agency. We're rewriting policies, building community and connecting people with the work they entered government to do.
We're not that smart.
If we can do this so can you
