Do we have to wait four years for our jobs to return or are they gone for good?

This is part of the problem. The entitlement to a federal government job.

Please share how you refer to your job?

Do you call it “my job” — if so you are a hypocrite. Or do you refer to it as X position that I currently am employed in, but have no expectation to continue to occupy”?

Like c’mon. This is clearly directed at current and recently fired feds. We are allowed to talk about “our jobs” the same way anyone else would refer to their own job. If you get fired I assume you’d say “I lost my job.”

It has never been about saving money. It is all about destroying the civil service whose loyalty is to the US Constitution. Trump wants a civil service loyal to his.

Yep. More political appointees that obligate awards that have contractors doing the work. This will make NGOs that rely on government contracts a very volatile space to work in.

Within the next year, people will realize all they took for granted that Feds did smoothly and seamlessly.

Signed, not a fed but appreciative

This isn't and hasn't been the public's perception of government workers. The problem with the DOGE actions is that they moved too quickly. Clinton took his time, but then again, he was supported by his own party in doing so. Trump probably determined he couldn't follow the same path due to the prolific law fare brought against him and nationwide injunctions through judge shopping.

The sad thing is that all these DOGE layoffs didn't save any money. Trump and Elon claim that they are reducing the debt but federal salaries make up 5 percent of the budget. If they truly wanted to address the debt they would either have to touch political third rails like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid...or raise revenue.

Um, with plans like this, the Democrats aren’t going to be winning any future elections.

Yes, I’m sure those moves will be less popular than the completely traitorous fascist $hit show that’s happening now in the White House.

Bring back Garcia if he is still alive. Restart CFPB. Tear down the wall. Get rid of tariffs(which Biden didn't do in his term).

That’s an odd assortment of moves.

I get Garcia (and others) but the other items are why the Dems were defeated in the first place.

Focusing on Garcia has been even less popular for Democrats. The people demand deportations, and Democrats want to prevent them. Democrats are explicitly the party of illegal immigration now. Even more than they were in November 2024

It’s more that people if that AGE won’t be offered those jobs again. Because there were no layoffs for 30 years, most of the federal bureaucrats were old and lazy. Very easy to replace them with people who will work harder.

At this rate if approval, it will be in 40 years.

Rebuilding a burned down house isn't like flipping a light switch back on
Destruction is one-directional.

What would be the reason? Aren’t these jobs essential like USAID?

DP but maybe we will see how things run with everything slashed and decide what is really essential. Maybe automation and AI will make some jobs obsolete. They will also need a budget to hire back federal employees and will need to make a strong case for increasing that budget.

They already have that budget. No need for increase. Congress has made no spending cuts.

This whole thing is a farce.
