Coping with despair

[Anonymous]

All I want to do is eat cookies and chocolate, shop, and plan a vacation somewhere warm. Except I don't want to waste money shopping or traveling. And before all this started I was doing great at cutting my added sugar and eating healthier . . . .

Tear 'em down instead of building it up. Way to build a better country.

lol some people are so sick. The resentful posts that are like “well the private sector sucks so the federal sector should suck too!” are astounding.

It is this wave of jealousy and stupidity that has driven this whole thing…

It drives everything every time feds are hurt - shut down, well why do THEY get paid, when I get furloughed I don't get paid. 2% raise - well why do they even need that much, it's too much.

Most federal workers don’t own yachts. But tech bros who contribute nothing to society but apps and other tools and now Ai to extract personal data from people do.

Why did you feel the need to post this on this thread? You are either an idiot, insensitive, or both. Run. Along.

PP here. Maybe you don’t like my view, but at least I’m honest. Wishing you all the best.

Okay, so you are an idiot, as there clearly is no "maybe" in the pp's post.

Right. All of these ‘but in the private sector’ posters don’t realize they have Stockholm Syndrome and want a country full of serfs.

Current leadership, starting with Musk and the President, are now putting the civil service heads on a stick for everyone to throw stones at in order to distract from what they are doing to the government and for themselves. People are still falling for it obviously.

We are all Americans, people.

Wow. Now I don’t feel bad for you at all. Not even a little bit. You Feds are mean, vindictive, and entitled. You had this coming. Where were you when those of us in this private sector were laid off and suffered during COVID. You were hiding at home behind your monitors on full pay. Well now it’s your turn. Karma is a B as they say.

You think we were HAPPY to see people get laid off??? Happy that you lr god king threw out the pandemic playbook and screwed the entire country over??? No we weren’t happy. A lot of us were scrambling to try and help, by getting people loans, vaccines, and internet service.…while trying to homeschool our kids. Just go crawl back into your hole.

Not jealous of laid off Feds, no. But also not sad when you call me stupid.

Come back when you start to feel the impacts of a purposely diminished government. Maybe someone in your family will die of a pathogen or a car accident (which could have been avoided with appropriate safeguards, regulations, and testing in place). Maybe your kid won't be offered any merit aid for college despite how hard they worked to keep that 4.0, because the universities are no longer able to be generous. Feds are being treated inhumanely. The rest of the country is going to have to feel it unfortunately.

NP. I feel like you’re being deliberately cruel to Feds, as though we deserve it. Thing is, I was in the private sector for almost thirty years and got laid off during COVID. I found a good job in the government, although it took a long time, and I’m doing great at it. But I’m in line to lose my job again and probably will. Was it my turn to lose my job twice for reasons that had nothing to do with me or my performance? And should I resent the one caused by a global pandemic or the one caused by an ignorant man-child more? We don’t deserve this. I didn’t deserve this.
