[quote=Anonymous]My parents were both federal employees who were laid off and furloughed without pay at different points in their careers from late 1970s through 1990s. Neither worked in DC area so they were more vulnerable to downsizing even though they were considered high performers with awards to show for it. And they were non managerial and not highly paid, gs 9-12. My dad was laid off several times, retrained miles away from home, rehired then told he’d have to move away from his family to keep his job so he retired early. My mom was laid off during Clinton’s big purge but eventually rehired because a colleague decided to retire so a position opened up for her. [/quote]
