I see a lot of memes and vids on social media about how depressed some of these workers are for losing their job after their department was sliced. I saw the same when Musk laid off all of those Twitter employees. They went to social media and cried like little girls. Look....welcome to life. This happens. It is not uncommon for neither a company nor a government agency to downsize. People lose jobs. I have been laid off for the same reason 3 times before. Yes, it sucks. But it is also the way it works. Evidently, they don't teach that in high school before they head out in the real world. I don't understand why some people are so upset about something that is not unusual. 

Get over it. Find another job. 

It's so obvious we have a bloated government...

Al Gore was talking about it 30 years ago.

I have no sympathy for these people.
People get laid off all the time and CNN doesn't interview them and blame Trump
 

Get back to the office, contribute in some meaningful way or hit the road

It's estimated 20 million people get fired, downsized or quit each year.

You are now a statistic, put your big girl pants and do what needs to be done!

We are all statistics. That's why I advocate to give your family the extra mile and your work the bare minimum. Employees are replaceable.

I've never been fired but did go through a downsize when the company lost a big contract. The company let go several long term employees that were doing the bare minimum. (Seriously milking the clock)

It doesn't take much effort these days to be just above average.

I have been laid off three times. It sucks, but that's how it goes.

We simply have too many members of our society working directly for one government or another.
Look at Alaska....25%...!

As long as they pare down the government workers based on merit rather than some **** up DEI ****, we should see an increase in efficiency. Maybe 10% reduction in work done but a 30% reduction in workforce.

A net gain.
 
 

Every Government job eliminated save tax payer money. Government workers are same as welfare recipients.

To all the unemployed government workers

The military is simply a jobs program for poor kids.

Fire 50% of them.

Cuckies heads will explode

We know damn well what they're SO depressed about!
Losing their job is only a small component of their worst fears.

The fact is they know damn well that they'll now have to find employment in the private sector, where they'll be forced to do some actual work!
Watch how many of them start whining as if they're being tortured when they have to show up to work every day and have a real boss that evaluates their effort!

You don't know ****. It is harder to get into the military than college. Most cannot get accepted.
