I worry about this too. When we finally get this 💩show behind us, there will be a lot of work to do. Who would want to work for such a capricious employer?

AmyG Trump just wants loyalists in everything. He doesn‘t care if they are qualified or not. 5d
Susanita @amyg At least he‘s drained the swamp 🙄 5d
Bookwormjillk I agree. Who would ever consider that a viable career path now? 4d

ncsufoxes I keep saying all these people don‘t want the federal government but once all of their services are gone or harder to get they‘re going to realize how important government is. Also people don‘t realize how much the government does for them till it‘s not there. And/or their state taxes get more expensive (FDA, EPA). It is sad too to know how much expertise is being lost. 4d
ncsufoxes My son is a junior in college & he was really interested in studying invasive species in grad school. He said he‘s not going to go that direction because the main place to get jobs in that area is the USDA & right now he feels the government won‘t be a reliable place to get a job in the future. 4d
marleed As a retired federal employee (army) I feel so defensive of today‘s civil servants. I saw a statistic somewhere of who‘s lost federal jobs and a large percent are women or people of color. I don‘t think Doge cares who is hired next so long as they are MAGA. So much for the HATCh Act. 4d
Susanita @ncsufoxes I feel so bad for young people right now, such as your son and my niece, who are looking for jobs and the rug has been pulled out from under them. And you‘re right, I think a lot of people don‘t really understand the interplay of state and federal functions and especially budgets. 4d
Susanita @marleed Yeah, the Hatch Act is one more restraint he‘s just obliterating this time around. 🤬 4d
