I don't work for the federal government, so I'm not worried just yet. But I know there are ripple effects that may hit state and local governments, so I'm naturally worried about that. A former colleague who now works in the private sector lost his job because contracts were canceled. I don't think the public realizes yet how widespread the effects are going to be.

Sad for the quality people that will be lost and the trust that has been violated when these people were offered jobs. Not every government work is a saint but many were and, for those, I am sorry. I personally have retired for health reasons and am glad not to be in limbo like so many are now. Wishing you the best, folks...

With the government run the way it is, it was only a matter of time that this would have happened. You might as well rip the bandaid off now.

The question isn’t really cutting those services, it finding who is getting payed out and cared for who shouldn’t. Quite honestly SS was designed as a short term solution that lasted way long after the Great Depression. Social security was doomed to fail. Its needs to go away but that would have to be a way that makes sense and there are non at the moment. I don’t trust government to do anything right. If they mess up there a no consequences but if I mess up on my taxes there consequences.

I lost my position with the federal government as a probationary employee. I was worried I would be let go. I did not take the payout because there was so much conflicting information. I put my family at risk based on that decision, I wish the media and administration would behave with some empathy and dignity . These are people that have been impacted and everyone is not a slacker.

Not at all, I work for a contractor for the Federal government and my job isn't redundant or pointless so I'm not going anywhere, but I'm all for as small a government as possible so if they wanted to lay me off because of that I'd be cool with it 🤷

You'll need to care about what you do, it serves a purpose and is intended for the betterment of everyone and thing you do. Please 🥺 stop bickering and start working together or at least because you make laws passed by government(s) come to life and hopefully benefit of most, not necessary all, because perfection is almost impossible to achieve as a human being. Love one another and serve eachother as a family of human beings with care and consideration. Just some small advice from a none politician, but one who trained to become one. Cheers 🍻🥂❤️

Damn right I'm worried about my job. It took me 20 years to get this government job and the only reason I got it was because the first Trump administration finally allowed people without college degrees to apply. Now my small agency has dumped over 10% of the staff and they are looking at identifying the next wave of staff to cut so they can get to Musk/Trump's requirement to cut 25-50% of the agency. I'm expecting that nearly all the admin staff (like me) will get cut.

I'm retiring ASAP. As a woman, I'm afraid I could be dubbed a DEI hire if senior officers in the military are. Unfortunately the BOC is backed up 120 days because so many people are trying to retire. I'm also afraid that anything we put in the 5 bullet points could be twisted around.

Fear not about doing what the law and it's immense spirit to your founding peoples.
