[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Voters voted for Trump. Many of them want this. They are not the same as simply turning away.

[b]As bad as this is for feds, 2009 was worse for the private sector especially in certain industries. [/b] And then with covid, many other industries especially service ones either had to close or had to operate with a lot of exposure to covid. [/quote]

It's not done being bad for feds. This is like late spring 2007 when Lehman Brothers failed but nobody else had been hit yet. The RIFs have not even started at the larger agencies.

And it's going to be worse than 2009 because Trump is destroying entire fields (i.e. not just hitting feds, but academic, nonprofit, and private sector employers involved in research etc)  [/quote]

Also, what is being done to fed employees is being done for sheer cruelty by some of the most powerful people on earth. They are using as their ant farm to mess with for fun. None of this has to be happening. This isn’t just market forces outside of any particular person’s control.

I graduated into the recession and remember post-grad offers being rescinded, my parents’ friends losing their jobs, my parents worried about their retirement. I know it was really bad, I lived it and was unemployed for a while.

What is going on right now isn’t the same. I’ve never heard of a private sector CEO antagonizing the company’s employees, telling the world they are lazy and don’t deserve to get paid, and then destroying the local economy and job market as whole to make it impossible to find a new job once laid off.

This administration, including the OMB director, have *admitted* they want us to be vilified and traumatized. They want to ruin lives.

Find me another company trying to make millions of employees scared and miserable on top of tanking the company’s mission and ability to get the job done.[/quote]
