Since January 1st, 2024, 5700+ companies have announced mass layoffs.

Since January 1st, 2025, 190+ companies have announced mass layoffs.[Last update: January 21, 2025].

So I ask you... for how many of those layoffs did the workers have to endure the POTUS and some megalomaniac billionaire with a chainsaw and a social media company maligning them, calling them lazy and worthless, accusing them wrongfully of committing fraud, etc. etc. though multiple television appearances and social media posts?

I'll wait.

There is no F-in parallel and I'm sick of private sector people pretending they have any F-in clue what this is like.

You forgot what happened to all those fired for refusing Covid shots and the flagellation campaign wishing death upon them that followed.

Same with those speaking out against wokeism in their workplaces. BTW, nobody in private sector hates the Feds. Nobody with a brain. In fact, we emphasize with you, and I would say my main criticism of this administration is crazy cuts to the jobs done by American citizens without any alternative and without any plan to create jobs to re-employ them. I am very much on your side, even though in bad times.. you were not on mine.

I'm in my 50s. I look over my shoulder every single day. I've been with my company for 12 years. I could be laid off any time, any day. That's why I keep my head down and work as hard as I can to make my work indispensable, to make me indispensable. But I worry every day. Being over 50 is a challenge, even though I'm highly skilled and not a lot of people have my skill set. But it doesn't matter. Some higher up will decide I'm paid too much and lay me off to be replaced by a couple of know-nothing kids in their 20s. I've seen it happen many times.

But, of course I feel badly for the federal workers who are being axed by Trump-Musk. Part of the appeal of federal jobs has been how safe they are, especially for someone like me who is over 50. Now, no one is safe. I know lots of people who are losing their jobs because of the cuts in grants and contracts -- most in the private sector. This is no way to run a country.

I couldn't have said this better. I completely agree, this is exactly how I feel.

I think this, along with epithets like "leftists" belong squarely in that thread about the things certain posters here say that instantly destroys their credibility and along with it, any possibility of good-faith debate.

Yes you will argue of this is what we go through in the private sector. You miss the point. You are just used to being treated like garbage.

If you have been paying attention, companies hate workers more and more. The more money they male the more they hate us and the least they want to pay us. They have been bitc***g and mo***g about the wage growth we got post COVID and the small period where workers slightly had the upper band in their choice of employment. Then they started hating remote workers coming up with all kind of nonsensical studies about it's ineffectiveness.

It's shameful that corporations (corporations are people too remember that line) have managed to turn us into hating ourselves to the point where we turn against each other.

Honestly ask yourself. How has the existence of a fed worker render your life miserable?

Which is why it is incomprehensible that the Democrats decided boys in girls sports and defund the police were more important than an actual labor movement.

Except they didn't. You batshit dummies believe every piece of garbage that comes out of that liars mouth. It's mind boggling how gullible you are.

I don’t know. The UMC liberal mom brigade in my neighborhood is rabidly pro Trans rights. You have to nod and smile or they will excommunicate you.

"rabidly pro trans rights"???

Did you find that phrase in the Trump-Putin playbook? The Trumptroll handbook?

I'm a UMC liberal mom, and I know lots and lots of UMC liberal moms, and not one of us is "rabid" about anything, much less trans rights. We believe everyone should be treated fairly and not judged or excluded based on things like sexual identity, sexual orientation, skin color, ethnicity, disability, etc. If someone is trans, please remind me -- how does that affect me? Why do you care if someone is trans? It's their life, not yours.

The Trump crowd has to scapegoat someone. Bullies always pick on the most vulnerable people. The trans people I know are very brave. They didn't choose to be trans. It's not a "lifestyle." They are who they are, and what's it to you?

It’s our turn to return the favor with a similar level of concern.

Yeah, I hear you. Many people lost jobs then for ideological reasons. We received zero compassion, only threats TBH.. Yet, I am feeling bad about all the feds being laid off. It's not just about Feds it's about workplace culture in our country and how we accepted being treated like sh** and cannot imagine that a job can be fulfilling (not just feel like a jail sentence) and have reasonable hours and life work balance and great benefits. Also as other industries were bamboozled by the outsourcing and in-shoring of foreign workers Government was the only employer forced to hire Americans, in a way it was a refuge.

It almost feels like educated Americans with a career have become poor immigrants in their own country (without language and having to start from scratch) having to now get in line for what? New manufacturing jobs that's supposedly coming? or low paying labor/service jobs to stay employed? It's a horrible message to send

It's hurting your feeble mind for sure. But this doesn't mean it has anything to do with your dubious notion of "credibility", e.g. everything seating neatly inside your little personal belief bubble.

And you know what side I was on...how? Since you have no idea who I am, what I do for a living? What I did or didn't do during the pandemic? Or anyone else posting on here for that matter? Your post is not the gotcha that you think, because your last line makes absolutely no sense.

Exactly.

Companies like IBM, Xerox, Kodak, Westinghouse, US Steel, ATT, the auto companies
, etc., etc. have laid off / cut the jobs of hundreds of thousands. The private sector had to change to survive. Job security is a relic of the past.

Now it’s the Federal Government’s turn. And it’s looooong overdue.

And in the private sector you have to produce something that’s a foreign concept to Government people. That’s RESULTS.

The Democrats weren’t pushing any of that. Maybe if you had ever turned off Fox News you’d be less of a gullible imbecile.

No better example of a gullible imbecile than the one you just made of yourself.
How/why do you people continue to remain so blatantly, incredibly naive & willfully ignorant? And then highlight your inability to respond with anything of substance by using a tired Fox News reference to prop you up.

On March 3, 45 of the 47 Democrats that voted, did so in opposition of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act, which would prohibit “school athletic programs from allowing individuals whose biological sex at birth was male to participate in programs that are for biological women or girls”.

Your denial of the Democrats "defund the police" movement is just as laughable.

Stop lying, the little baby red hats were the ones that couldn’t stop thinking about little boys and girls and fantasizing about what happens in bathrooms.

NP. The most significant and unified action Congressional Democrats have taken since Trump was inaugurated was to protect the right of boys to play in girls sports. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that this is the Democrat’s highest priority.

Citation?

NP.

Thank you for a link to a reputable news source, which mere reinforces the obvious; as another poster put it:

“Which is why it is incomprehensible that the Democrats decided boys in girls sports and defund the police were more important than an actual labor movement.”


There are one or more people trying to re-write history here by refuting obvious truths.

But any mature adult with a memory remembers what the democrats have done with their opportunities to lead the administration and, at times, congress (not to mention state leadership).

No one is falling for the revisionist history or gaslighting anymore. I’d argue it’s part of what landed our country where we are now.
