Any Federal worker that actually voted FOR Donald Trump last November is getting a payback….
Uncertainty and Worry….
That’s Donald…..
As a NYC Real Estate guy he coulkdn’t care less about ‘his’ help…
He never was personally responsible for millions of employee’s , of which some where unionised …
Trump’s buddies have made it no scret they want to go back to the 1930’s BEFORE FDR helped America out of a Depession with a ‘New Deal’ in expanding government services….
Oh?
Joe Biden mentioned FDR during his four years , So you get it?
Trump & Co. are trying to blame the Democrats….
But?
Democratic lawmakers are NOT sending people home…
Trump people do…
And a LOT of those Trump people are inexperienced and don’t really seem to care about people’s ‘feelings’…..
Don’t want ya to get a Federal Govt. job?
“When did we become the enemy?” said one National Institutes of Health employee who, like other workers interviewed for this article, spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation. Her husband, who retired from the NIH this year, could not answer.
“Why are we the enemy?” he asked.
The large numbers of experienced federal workers who continue to flee — coupled with the dismay and fatigue afflicting those who remain — raise the question of whether the U.S. government is less effectively able to serve the public. As it limps to the end of 2025, the government is a diminished body staffed by a shrinking number of exhausted people barely hanging on to their sanity, said Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonprofit that advocates to improve federal agencies and services.
The shutdown only hastens the decline, he said.
“What workforce would you treat in this way?” Stier said. “What other job is there in this country where you can be told you must work and you’re not going to get paid? There is none.”

Listening to the president’s threats of further layoffs, an IRS staffer wondered whether his disability, which requires remote work, meant he was going to be fired first. An Agriculture Department worker began trying to line up a second job classifying soils and thought, fleetingly, that “it would be great not to have everyone hate us.”
And a Department of Homeland Security employee tried hard to find reasons to keep going. “We’re just beaten,” she said. “We feel like a mixture of pawns and just worn out. There is no hope.”
…
“There’s just this overwhelming sense of dread,” she said, both for the people she serves and for her own job security.
Adding to some staffers’ anxiety, the government hasn’t been communicating as much as it usually would in a shutdown. At many agencies, supervisors were unusually slow to issue instructions on whether workers should be coming into the office or staying home, working or not.
One U.S. Forest Service staffer said he was asked to keep working for a full day as though the government weren’t closed, while management belatedly developed lists of who was exempted or furloughed. A FEMA worker said some of her colleagues got their furlough notices extremely late — one of them nearly 30 hours after their notice should have gone out. Park Service staff were sent home in many places without getting guidance on whether they could put up signs to alert that visitors services were limited, and some parks closed….

At the Education Department, furloughed staff found their out-of-office messages altered without their consent to read, “Unfortunately, Democrat Senators are blocking passage of H.R. 5371 in the Senate which has led to a lapse in appropriations,” according to four employees and records obtained by The Post. Labor employees were also told to use that out-of-office message, according to emails obtained by The Post.
“It feels like a slap in the face to … people who have always left their politics at the door,” said a Social Security staffer….
