But firing isn&apos;t the only way to punish people.</p><p>&quot;A greater concern would be that selected employees could be marginalized, i.e., ignored, by new leadership at the Department solely based on unfounded conjecture that those employees cannot be trusted by the new political team,&quot; said John Palguta, a civil service expert with decades of federal government experience. &quot;The consequences for contract employees could be greater if a future decision not to renew a contract is influenced by the same unsupported speculation.&quot;</p><p>On the question of providing names, Energy officials resolutely rejected the request, while reassuring workers.</p><p>&quot;The Department of Energy received significant feedback from our workforce throughout the department, including the National Labs, following the release of the transition team&apos;s questions. Some of the questions asked left many in our workforce unsettled,&quot; said Eben Burnham-Snyder, a department spokesman. &quot;Our career workforce, including our contractors and employees at our labs, comprise the backbone of DOE (Department of Energy) and the important work our department does to benefit the American people.
