Something very much like your post happened to me. I was replaced at my prior agency with the Director's running buddy former prosecutor.
My replacement was let go for this....
AG asked to examine OSBI director after discipline dispute reveals attorney conflict
The OSBI Commission voted Wednesday, Feb. 22,2024, to send a complaint by former agent Joe Kimmons to the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office.

His replacement resigned for this....
As OSBI Commission gets AG report on director, general counsel resigns for racial slur in email
As the OSBI Commission reviews a completed investigation into allegations against the agency's director, its general counsel has resigned.

And they are now on their fourth or fifth general counsel in the past six years that I have been gone. On their third Director over six years as well.
After twenty years of managing somehow to not embarrass the agency I worked for and advising five different directors through that time, I will confess to record high levels of schadenfreude at the moment.

Stephen Miller: "Children will be taught to love America. Children will be taught to be patriots. Children will be taught civic values for schools that want federal taxpayer funding. So as we close the Dept of Education and provide funding to states, we're going to make sure these funds are not being used to promote communist ideology."

Weijia Jiang: "The Admin has stresssed the need for price transparency. Why is it a political/hostile act for Amazon to display prices?"
Stephen Miller: "First of all, that proposal is gone. Anything made in California has a massive price increase. Why wouldn't Amazon have a list saying if you purchase it in California instead of Alabama, this is the price you pay. This is a clear attempt to try to undermine our trade negotiations with China. A lot of products sold on Amazon are ripoffs."

So the guy who added the reporter to the Illegal Signal Chat is going to get canned...but not the guy using an unsecure App illegally has full confidence
So the Person who accidently exposed the Illegality of what they are doing to the Press takes the Fall #Trumpworld.
WASHINGTON − Mike Waltz, President Donald Trump's national security advisor, is set to leave his White House post amid continued fallout weeks after he accidentally invited a journalist into a chat between top national security officials discussing plans for Yemen airstrikes.
A source familiar with the situation on May 1 confirmed Waltz' exit, as well as deputy national security advisor Alex Wong.
Trump had publicly stood by Waltz after his national security adviser and other members of the chat vigorously denied sharing any classified war plans on the publicly available app Signal. The chat was revealed when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, published a March 24 story detailing how Waltz accidentally invited him into the communications.

Trump legit doesn't think the pic was photoshopped
When Terry Moran of ABC News said that those characters were photoshopped onto the picture, President Trump looked positively mutinous. He could not bring himself to admit that Kilmar Abrego Garcia did not have the words “MS-13” tattooed on his hand. Read more: https://nyti.ms/430rqeR

That's how this administration works. Failures are fine no matter how bad, we just can't let people know about it.
Imagine the message this sends to any whistleblower (probably intentional).

The dream of a lot of people working in factories is to eventually get out of there, especially if the job is hazardous to health. That is one major reason why robots will be taking over.“This is the new model, where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here."
Lutnick, the son of a college professor, is suggesting that millions of people ought to commit to a generational lack of upward mobility under the guise of creating a new class of American labor.

Dem House Member named to Marjorie Taylor Greene Led "DOGE" Cacus or "Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee" House says MTG's committee is Dead and only held 2 meetings
Reporter : "I know you were what's being described as the first Democrat to join the so-called DOGE caucus," "You said you believe in, quote, 'streamlining government processes and reducing ineffective government spending.' Is that what you've seen, and have these cuts been good for the country so far?"
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) -
"No," . I mean, it's just been absolutely disastrous. First of all, the DOGE caucus in congress is dead, it's defunct – it met twice. I was there and never met again. They weren't included in any conversation, so the DOGE caucus in Congress officially dead. DOGE of the executive branch, a complete failure. They have not met their goals by 85 percent and they didn't do any efficiency. Nothing in government is more efficient. They just did 'dog,' they forgot the 'E' part, and so it's been a complete and utter failure."
"That's why Elon's had to run away back to his company," "He's ruined his name, he's ruined his company, and he's gone on to ruin the federal government, and so, look, consumer sentiment is down to the lowest level to 1990. GDP obviously is underwater, completely reversed. The tariffs are the biggest man-made economic disaster of the modern era."

Stephen Miller Goes on Unhinged Rant About ‘Communist Woke Culture’ Destroying America
Stephen Miller launched into an angry diatribe about the “communist woke culture” that he claimed is destroying America.The deputy White House chief of staff appeared with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in the White House briefing room Thursday to lecture the media about “common sense.”
But after Leavitt introduced him, Miller spent 12 minutes ranting about President Donald Trump’s achievements, the failures of former President Joe Biden’s administration, and the missteps of the media.
He claimed that, “without doubt,” the first months of the second Trump administration were “the greatest 100 days to begin any American Presidency in the history of this nation.”
The president “inherited an economic catastrophe, a border catastrophe, a public safety catastrophe and a cultural catastrophe, and in every case, he has reversed those catastrophes and brought America into the new golden age,” Miller said.
“One of the most significant crises that President Trump inherited upon taking office was the wave of racial discrimination, so-called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies that have taken over both public sector and private sector entities all across the United States of America,” he continued. “Perhaps the most dramatic example of this is that our air traffic controllers were being hired and promoted based on race and gender, not their ability to conduct our nation’s air traffic.”
Barely stopping for breath, Miller said the administration was battling the “junk fake science” of the Biden White House and the “obviously insane, cruel and unacceptable” practice of promoting “prison rape by putting men into female prisons.”
He said Trump “has taken on every entrenched power structure and system all across this government, this swamp, this town, that includes, of course, the DOGE efforts to slash corrupt, wasteful government spending, graft and corruption, and to stop billions of taxpayer dollars from going to radical left NGOs.
“These are left-wing nonprofits that are used to advance illegal immigration, to advance open borders, to advance gender ideology, and to advance all of this insanity that has been turning our country in the wrong direction for so many years.”
Gathering pace, Miller continued: “These are just some of the things that have ushered in the new golden age, along with his fight to restore the peace that we had for four years under the previous administration, before Joe Biden sunk this planet into bloodshed and war in the Middle East, in Europe and rising tensions in Asia.”
Echoing Trump’s criticism of the media, the Trump adviser insisted the media should be ashamed of its coverage of the judicial fight over the deportation of a Maryland father that justice officials admitted was a mistake.
“To the extent that you covered it at all, it was because President Trump forced you to cover it by highlighting it repeatedly, over and over again,” he said. “With your coverage, are trying to force innocent Americans to have these people as their neighbors, and then one day, their daughter may be abducted from their home and raped and murdered.
“So you’re not going to get an ounce of sympathy from this administration or President Trump for the terrorists who invaded our homes and our country,” he added.

Howard Lutnick says the 'great jobs of the future' will be fixing robots in factories
- Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says Trump's tariffs will create more factory jobs.
- Many factories, however, are now using automation, including humanoid robots.
- Lutnick says human factory workers can be trained to fix and maintain those robots.
Trump has pushed his tariff policy as a means to reinvigorate manufacturing in the United States, which he says could, among other things, create more jobs.
Nowadays, however, manufacturers often rely on automation to build their products. Many US companies, including automakers, plan to introduce humanoid robots to their factory floors.
In 2020, Hyundai acquired robot maker Boston Dynamics for $1.1 billion. Boston Dynamics and Hyundai announced an additional $21 billion partnership this month, which includes the purchase of tens of thousands of robots. Hyundai uses Boston Dynamics' Spot robot dogs in factories and plans to deploy its Atlas humanoid robots in the future.
Ford has also purchased Digit robots, the humanoid robot made by Agility Robotics. And Amazon has tested Digit in its fulfillment centers.
One automation company, Formic, told Business Insider earlier this month that its customers increased their overall robot usage by 17% between January and February, likely to ramp up production ahead of the tariffs.
So, what would these near-future human workers be doing in factories? Lutnick said in an interview with CNBC on Tuesday that the United States should train people to be technicians for these automated machines.
"It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future," Lutnick said. "You know, this is the new model, where you work in these kind of plants for the rest of your life, and your kids work here, and your grandkids work here."
In a separate CNBC interview on April 3, Lutnick said US factories are "going to see the greatest surge in training for what we call tradecraft — teaching people how to be robotics, mechanics, engineers, and electricians for high-tech factories."
Lutnick reiterated this idea on Tuesday, saying that most auto parts plants are already "highly automated" and the thousands of people who work in them are "trained to take care of those robotic arms."
When Lutnick was asked if robots would be taking most of the jobs in the scenario he described, he replied that "all these automated arms and stuff" still need human operators to fix them.
"They all need a technician to fix them. All of these things, this is trade craft. This is high school educated, great jobs that start in the 80s and 90,000s," Lutnick said.
"It is not like how they sort of joke online, you know, Americans working the sewing machine," he added.

I'd sooner hear from an actual expert on robot technology as to what extent robots will need humans to maintain them. For one thing, if the robot is running low on power, it shouldn't need a human to lead it to a recharging station. Engineering robots to need less and less maintenance by humans will likely produce some good paying jobs for a while.
