Washington (CNN) The Environmental Protection Agency's employees do not appear thrilled with the direction of their department.

For the second year in a row, the agency's employee engagement fell notably, and now sits at less than 58%, according to the latest annual tally of federal workforce morale conducted by the nonprofit Partnership for Public Service.

All of the separate offices within the EPA also reported decreases in worker engagement. Their former leader, Scott Pruitt, was forced to resign after series of ethical scandals. The agency's new director, former coal lobbyist Andrew Wheeler, has continued the dismantling of numerous environmental regulations.

Elsewhere around Washington's federal workforce, there were also signs of discontent.

The decline at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was among the most notable examples in the new survey: last year, roughly three-out-of-four employees said they were engaged positively at work.

He was then accused of leading an enforcement slowdown during his tenure at the helm.
