Former Office of Personnel Management Acting Director Rob Shriver joins The People’s Cabinet to illustrate what mass firings and agency reductions mean for real people and for the services Americans count on. Shriver also lays out a customer-centric blueprint to rebuild a responsive, effective government, and what communities can do right now to defend it.

Shriver talks to Dan Koh about:

• The difference between political vs. career roles and what “Schedule F” really does
• How probationary firings are reshaping agencies
• Why cyber talent is fleeing government
• Everyday impacts you’ll feel locally: food safety inspections and air traffic control
