Human Factors
Release was requested by FFZ. I looked up at the IDS [Information Display System] and saw rwy 22. The aircraft was not assigned the ODP [Obstacle Departure Procedure]. So I pulled up the DVA [Diverse Vector Area] assigned a 190 heading and released the aircraft. I was being relieved as the aircraft departed. I observed the aircraft depart rwy 4. I took immediate action and assigned a 220 heading; same as the [ODP] and climbed to 5000 ft. I stopped my briefing and finished the event prior to releasing control of the sector to the relieving controller. The flight data controller knew that the aircraft was not on the [ODP]. When dropping the flight plan off; he said he doesn't give a [expletive] because he is [not] getting paid. My mind is distracted thinking about how I will pay my mortgage in [the coming] days. We have worked thru the shutdown and have not been paid. Morale is awful at this facility. The controller relieving me was very disgruntled. This situation is very dangerous. We should not be used as political pawns. We are aviation safety and should be treated as such. Tower should have questioned my heading when given their release. I should have observed Rwy 4 in use. We had just changed to west flow at Sky Harbor. All [satellite] airports should be required to change directions with PHX. Also; open the government and pay employees. The FAA should not be subject to government shutdowns!
