Employees of the Department of Justices Civil Rights Division hold a significantly dimmer view of their senior leadership under the Trump administration than they did under President Barack Obama.
According to surveys obtained by Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting through the Freedom of Information Act, employee opinions on the basic decency of their bosses have plummeted since Attorney General Jeff Sessions took over the department.
Federal Employee Viewpoint Surveys are filled out by hundreds of thousands of federal workers every year. In 2017, 280 Civil Rights Division employees completed the surveys.
The surveys show:
Between 2016 and 2017, the number of people answering yes to the question My organizations senior leaders maintain high standards of honesty and integrity dropped from 70.9 percent to 42.7 percent.
For the question, I have a high level of respect for my organizations senior leaders, positive responses dropped from 72.3 percent to 39.9 percent.
In 2016, 53.2 percent of respondents said senior leaders generated high levels of motivation and commitment in the workforce, compared with 32.7 percent in 2017.
The percentage of people who said they were satisfied with the policies and practices of your senior leaders dipped from 55.9 percent to 31.9 percent.
In 2016, 71.5 percent said they were satisfied with their organization as a whole. In 2017, only 57.3 percent said the same.
Positive responses to these questions were significantly lower within the Civil Rights Division than for the Justice Department as a whole...........................................
