The Biden administration is a sinking ship.
According to a new report from Politico, black staffers are fleeing the Biden White House. It is getting so bad the term “Blaxit” is being used.
Staffers are citing a lack of opportunities and support as the reason.
“We’re here and we’re doing a lot of work but we’re not decision-makers and there’s no real path towards becoming decision-makers,†one current Black WH official told me. “There is no real feedback and there’s no clear path to any kind of promotions.â€https://t.co/2sibnFwlr4

At least 21 Black staffers have left the White House since late last year or are planning to leave soon. Some of those who remain say it’s no wonder why: They describe a work environment with little support from their superiors and fewer chances for promotion.
…
“I have heard about an exodus of Black staffers from the White House — ‘Blaxit’ — and I am concerned,†said Spencer Overton, president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, which tracks government staff diversity numbers. “Black voters accounted for 22 percent of President Biden’s voters in November 2020. It is essential that Black staffers are not only recruited to serve in senior, mid-level and junior White House positions, but are also included in major policy and personnel decisions and have opportunities for advancement.â€

The reasons for the departures may vary. But the totality of them has not gone unnoticed within the ranks, according to interviews with nine current and former Black White House officials. Three Black staffers who currently work in the White House — and were granted anonymity because of fear of reprisal — said the exodus has hurt morale, compounding problems that exist elsewhere. They described an operation in which mentorship is hard to come by and opportunity to move up the ranks of a tight-knit operation is exceptionally rare.
