[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree that the bark is worse than the bite and there are very few people who aren't still getting their paycheck, if any.

You dont need to tell your kids anything because nothing has happened to you. You can talk about changes in government if you think they're interested. You can talk about logistics changes if your in office days are changing.

If you are laid off you tell them it's fine and that you'll be making responsible choices to keep the family running.

You dont need to be dramatic.[/quote]

Ooo, op you clearly don't know anyone who worked with USAID. There are thousands of contractor and implementer orgs that worked for USAID that are out of jobs!!![/quote]

Both out of a job and not well positioned to easily get another because of the glut of job seekers and now limited opportunities in the field. My friend is a single parent usaid contractor who got laid off this week. She’s not telling her high schoolers “it will be fine” because in all likelihood, it will not be. She’s weighing pulling the kids from school, renting out her home, and moving in with parents out of state.[/quote]
