I found the following two posts in an online 1102 forum. Are the representative?:

Besides feeling like a very overworked deck chair shuffler on the RMS Titanic, I feel your pain with the loss of personnel. My procurement shop has been decimated. It hurts enough to lose so many from our newest and most experienced ranks, but worst of all has been the amount of mid-career 1102s who walked because they finally, finally, finally had enough with the White House's lunatic mission to render government work as untenable as possible. There's no level of peer that I haven't lost to this never-ending tumult, and yet none of this "streamlining the government" ever happens because the work actually doesn't change. I just end up taking on the contracts of 2 other people.

And another:

I’m a Contracting Officer with an unlimited warrant. 14+ years experience. I’m burnt out with all the changes, loss of personnel and overall chaos in the government. I’m eligible for VERA if they offer it again and considering taking it if I get the chance. My question is what is available to me in the private sector if I pull the plug. I’m trying to decide if I just need to relax and do my best even if that means mission failure or take my chances and try something new. I truly love my team and my organization. My leadership is top notch. I’m just finding it impossible to keep my head above water, be a good leader and take care of my own mental health.
