"Dear Colleague,
Earlier this morning I submitted my letter of resignation to President Biden effective November 29th, 2024.
It has been said that “all we love becomes a part of us.” And I have come to love each of you — and the mission we share — dearly. You make real the promise of a compassionate and caring America for millions of our neighbors every day.
So, have courage, do your duty, and do not be afraid. America needs you.
Stronger together,
Martin O’Malley"
This is a loss. Any thoughts on who will be ACOSS? Bets on how long until Trump nominates? Saul again?
Not exactly a role a role model. You left ASAP!
So, have courage, do your duty, and do not be afraid. America needs you.
He would be an above average pick for Chair of the DNC.
Saul will not be nominated again. But its impossible to guess who Trump will nominate.
Employees deserve admin leave for the day he leaves.
So saddened by this news.
And this is the perfect example of an administrator vs a politician. An administrator would have stayed and finished the term until asked to leave. A politician is always on to the next best thing. Sort of flies in the face of everything he’s done the last 11 months. Disappointing.
If he really “loves” all the employees, he should restore full time telework for eligible employees and close field offices to the public for half the day on Wednesdays. What Marty loved was spending all the agency’s money!
That's sad to hear. I do hope he the chair.
No you don’t
The line of succession needs to be changed before he leaves. Don’t want Kilolo again.
No video this time huh? The guy won't even stay on until January. Real dedication.
So who's the next leader? Eric Trump? Don Jr? Maybe there's a case for Dr. Ben Carson to revamp Disability /s
I was thinking, are we better today than when he took over? Wouldn't that be the primary bar? Sure, he looked good doing what he did, but are we feeling better about SSA today than when he started? We're playing some agency level shell game. We're moving work around like crazy. Is that progress? Move one problem here and start another problem there. That doesn't feel like a win. Are we better trained? No. Hardly. The perceived wins were changes in policy. Honestly, most of them were relaxations of policy. Surely, our stewardship will have declined permanently if we had better staffing. We created giveaways in the name of progress. What are we truly better at? On his way out, we started an appointment focused model? Does that make us a better customer service agency? Oh, that's right, we aren't a customer service agency. I'm just not really sure what we are better at. I guess we are better at moving things around and relaxing our standards. Mission accomplished! How did that FEVS push work out? I bet that funding dream is still coming. Right about now, his entire tenure at SSA looks like a political stunt.
As long as it's not another short term politician type, I'm sure we'll be better off.
