This is going to be an issue everywhere soon. Businesses in my city are starting to do layoffs and voluntary buyouts…if there is suddenly an economic downturn along with thousands of Feds competing for the same jobs it’s going to be rough for everyone.

The republicans will use this as a talking point to say that since the federal workers couldn’t get a private sector job, then they were obviously leeches on the economy and unqualified anyways

Yet I never see or hear about any of the major media outlets running sob stories of how the financial future if these gov workers and families are being threatened due to Trump and Elon. Contrast this to all the anecdotal stories you saw of people suffering due to “Biden’s inflation”.

One of the terrible things about the corpo run-n-gun layoffs that are affecting these federal workers is that, no, alot of these people aren’t going to wait around hoping that they were one of the good ones that will get rehired when someone realizes that they were important. I was told that costs were just so awful that we had to take a gamble with TariffMan so these laidoff workers aren’t going to sit on their thumbs while the bills pile up. They’re gonna run to apply for a new job, but they’ll also be competing with their former coworkers who are planning for the worst (ie they get cut next).
I wonder if more government workers have lost their jobs in the past month than actual illegal immigrants have been deported… me thinks I don’t have to wonder hard.
