This conversation was a fascinating, in-depth look from an expert, on a critical subject — which of course means that it's pretty bleak right now. Neal Desai is currently the head of HR for the State of Maryland, a job he has taken after being at the federal Office of Personnel Management. Neal has a unique front-row seat to the importance, challenges, and modern-day assaults on government workers, and our conversation is a great way to understand what's really at stake.
