### Malicious Compliance, Federal Bureaucracy Tactics

- **Episode:** [1742: Golden Poop](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1742-golden-poop.md)
- **Published:** 2025-02-27
- **Time:** 1:39:21–1:43:46
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1742-golden-poop/chapter/malicious-compliance-federal-bureaucracy-tactics.md

The term "malicious compliance" is being used to describe federal workers who follow rules so strictly that they deliberately hinder government function, such as locking restrooms at Yosemite National Park. This tactic, similar to a union "slowdown," is seen as a form of resistance against the Trump administration's efforts to reduce the federal workforce. Proponents of civil service reform argue this behavior justifies the implementation of Schedule F to make employees more accountable.
