A survey of government employees at the FTC revealed that trust in senior staff under Chairwoman Lina Khan has fallen and is now underwater.
Just under half of the 720 Federal Trade Commission employees polled said they either agreed or strongly agreed that the agency’s “senior leaders maintain high standards of honesty and integrity,” according to the 2022 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey, which was released by the Office of Personnel Management.
The shift comes as the FTC, under Khan, a thought leader in what is known as the “hipster antitrust” movement, pursues an aggressive agenda to the cheers of liberals.Elizabeth Wilkins, Khan’s interim chief of staff and director of the office of policy planning, told Global Competition Review that leadership in the agency is working to improve trust.
In addition to low marks on honesty and integrity, FTC employees also expressed lower levels of respect for the agency’s senior officials. Just 44% surveyed said they either agreed or strongly agreed that they have “a high level of respect” for the FTC’s senior leaders.“If you thought the 2021 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey was a fluke, or that working more with Chair Khan would improve scores for senior leadership’s honesty & integrity, you were wrong,” said Wilson.
