[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private sector is constantly having layoffs. [/quote]

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. [/quote]
