Chief Data Officer Resigns Over Misuse Of Agency Data

    I guess it's a coincidence this happened on the Friday afternoon before Labor Day. From the New York Times:

The Social Security Administration’s chief data officer, Charles Borges, has resigned, three days after submitting a whistle-blower complaint that alleged members of the Department of Government Efficiency had uploaded the confidential personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to an insecure cloud server.

In his resignation letter, Borges said that he was quitting in part because he could not “verify that agency data is being used in accordance with legal agreements or in compliance with federal requirements.”

They are absolutely ruining the agency. Doge still has control of everything.

They are so arrogant they think they can do whatever they want with Ssa data in part because billionaires run it they think they are above the law
Also pay attention to the words in nuance of Chuck’s letter. He describes an atmosphere of disrespect and fear and intimidation. I bet bass majority of headquarters employees would agree it’s rampant

Was this “resignation letter” done under duress by the DOGE cronies

“because billionaires run it and they are above the law.”

Fixed that for you. Apparently you forgot this is 2025 and not 1974.

In one sense yes, because he says they excluded him and created a hostile work environment. But I doubt they wanted him to write and publish this kind of letter, which seems like a preface to a lawsuit.

They weren't happy with it -- it was e-mailed to the entire Systems division, not just to management, and wiped from the system shortly after...
