How do you answer the question "what's the point?"
I know we are all trying to hang on and do the best we can.I'm a non-sup gs11 doing the work of 2x gs11's a gs12, and a gs12/13 positions on top of mine. We were hit hard by the DeRP and having many older staff SME's.My coworker is a gs7 covering the responsibilities of a gs11 and a gs12. I think I'm now their supervisor as a non-sup 11 come 01May.Another coworker is a gs11 covering an additional gs11 and a gs13.They ask 'what's the point.' And I don't know. At what point do we just let important things fall apart? How do you answer the question: "why am I overworking myself." Or "what's the point"?

Massacre at ACF today. Regions 1,2,5,9, and 10 are gone. Just gone. Entire programs, divisions, and teams eliminated from HQ. ACF serves the most vulnerable children in the country, this is CATASTROPHIC. Media needs to step up and cover this. Children and families WILL suffer.

DRP fallout in my office. Work redistributed, spread thin. With DRP-DoD more are going to leave
Had some good and not so good folks leave with the DRP. Over the past month the work was distributed amongst the team and cadence is somewhat normal. As of two weeks ago the approved DRPers left and deep diving their work has been “fun” given that multiple documents haven’t been revised since 2022. ANYWAY, we are spread thin and during a team meeting last week a couple folks said that if another DRP comes they are jumping ship as to avoid any fallout. Well after Petey signed the Initiating the Workforce Acceleration and Recapitalization Initiative. The work text chat (the one minus leadership) blew up, 5 folks confirmed that the moment the memo and email gets released they are signing up. Not mad at them, but damn! Not sure what the plan will be to cover, but we will be severely understaffed. I’m genuinely curious, does anyone here have a similar situation? At least for our program office (overall not just my division), we will be severely imploding!

Nationwide protests April 5th
Hey guys. Just a civilian who lurks on this sub. You guys are amazing and our current administration is absolute bullshit for the way they are treating you.There are nationwide protests April 5th. Trying to get as many in the streets as possible. seeyouinthestreets.comI’ve heard you’re not allowed to protest if you’re a federal employee but in my opinion I think you should go if you want to. If our President and Elon don’t follow the law, then why should you have to? Totally up to you and no judgement whatever choice you make. If you can’t go then spread the word to some one who can go in your place, maybe with a sign that supports federal workers.I think you guys are such a vital part of the resistance to this administration. As in your stories and voices are so important. I’m imagining thousands of feds and fired feds in the street refusing to quit blowing the whistle on what this is. A coup. An illegal government takeover. And a slap in the face to civil servants.Also take care of yourselves because I know you’re exhausted. Whatever you can do is enough, even if it’s just self-care. You deserve it.

OPM Memo Ending Recognition of Federal Employee Unions
"By operation of 5 U.S.C. § 7103(b) and Exclusions, covered agencies and subdivisions areno longer subject to the collective-bargaining requirements of chapter 71 of part III, subpart F oftitle 5 (5 U.S.C. §§ 7101-7135). Consequently, those agencies and subdivisions are no longerrequired to collectively bargain with Federal unions. Also, because the statutory authorityunderlying the original recognition of the relevant unions no longer applies, unions lose their statusas the “exclusive[ly] recogni[zed]” labor organizations for employees of the agencies and agencysubdivisions covered by Exclusions."https://chcoc.gov/sites/default/files/OPM%20Guidance%20Memo%20on%20Exclusions%20from%20Labor%20Management%20Programs%203-27-2025.pdf

Are people really this stupid or this heartless?
Reading comments from articles on the working conditions of federal employees RTO-including bringing their own toilet paper, infestation of roaches and rats, nowhere to park, etc and the comments are all about how fed workers are crying about RTO when everyone else has been going into work their whole lives. Some even say they’ve always brought their own TP or had 2 hour communities one way. Am I missing something? I’m middle aged and have been working for 20 years in many different sectors-always in person and I’ve never had the working conditions explained by these articles. Are Americans stupid, heartless, or are these all bots responding and not even real life? I really hope it’s all bots. Reading the comments enraged me.

Reinstated: first day back to work
After one of the most stressful months of my life I have finally returned to MY job with the Forest Service! I was on my off season when my baby boy was born and one month later I received the call that my position was terminated. Obviously being fired without cause during this time was a massive source of stress for me and my family. Now, after near constant contact with my union steward, advocating on local news stations, and obsessively following fed news, I am once again employed. I want to thank this community and everyone I've come across over the last few weeks who has offered unquestioning support for myself and the thousands of others like me.It may be a truly dark and uncertain time, but there is light and security finding it's way back into our lives. Keep fighting, keep advocating, and keep the faith that with all of us standing in solidarity and dissent, that we can still win back our rights.

They are getting tired - do not wither; we will get through this
First week in the office I was legit sick, so stayed home 3 days. The next week I was not contagious, so came in.Thursday, I got an email saying "everyone has to be at the office.......you are excepted." I think a lot of people took a lot of sick hours right as the gov't was about to shut down.What did they do? They funded the IRS for 30 days (until 4/15) in the event the CR didn't pass.These motherfuckers do not realize how many of us have months of sick time. A colleague of mine is being told to commute 3 hours. She is 59-years-old, and she has 600+ hours of sick time, and 200+ hours of annual. She can come in 1 day a week the rest of the year and take 4 days off before she starts having trouble up around October, or November. But when the Fiscal YE comes up they'll be saying, we need you! Can you WFH????? And she will.

IMLS to be completely dismantled tomorrow - 3/19
Tomorrow morning, Keith Sonderling -- Deputy Secretary of Labor and somehow now Acting Director of IMLS -- and DOGE are supposed to show up at IMLS and send all of the employees home. Employees have been told they'll be placed on admin leave, with no word on duration or actual RIF procedures. If someone, anyone in media sees this, please be there. Document how they've illegally put in an Acting Director when the current leadership refused to terminate their employees in an illegal manner -- the statue says only the DD for Libraries or the DD for Museums can be Acting Director without confirmation. Document how this administration is shutting down the disbursement of federal formula and discretionary grants to libraries and museums across the country.IMLS's reauthorization is up in September. Professional associations have been lobbying congress for the last year and they have widely had bipartisan support - and now crickets. The Rs are understandable; they're complicit and/or terrified to stand up for learning institutions. The Ds? Who the fuck knows. IMLS, VOA/RFE/RFA, the Wilson Center, and the other small agencies whose federal funds don't even add up to $1B were the sacrificial lamb that Schumer for whatever reason agreed to, and now the Ds don't want to see the consequences of their fecklessness.By the way, anybody who uses Libby or other e-reader programs through their libraries or has ever gotten and inter-library loan... guess where the money for those programs comes from. And basically zero media coverage. Stay strong out there, hopefully people will say something when they come for you.

I won my own personal preliminary injunction against my illegal firing as a probationary employee!
As a Pro Se litigant against a US District Attorney. The union and state cases definitely helped! But….now I have a whole bunch of legal deadlines and submissions that I have to do, and I am woefully not equipped for this. Any federal employment lawyers-not the two big ones as they’ve already said they can’t do it-that can help me? I’ve got summary judgments, hearings, briefs and an actual trial date come this fall.

Why all the secrecy? Just tell us
I don’t really understand why there is so much hush hush when it comes to the rifs. It just shows they have no respect or regard for anyone and the minions (directors, commissioners, congress) are just following along. I think most of us would just like to know what our futures hold as soon as possible and not just sitting at our desks at 12pm and receive an email that we’re fired. It’s unfair and we don’t deserve it. I hope everyone that put him in office is still as thrilled as they were last year while this country is torn to shreds. It’s not just the federal employees. Contracts are being ripped up, leaving big companies reeling. We are already in a recession. This whole admin should be sued for negligence. Anyway, stay vigilant everyone. Try as best you can to create a few backup plans but the most likely scenario is the country goes to shit while the 1% get fatter and our government is privatized. Stay safe and try to endure as best you can. No matter what happens, walk out of that building with you head held high knowing you don’t deserve what happened to you.

CR craziness. Think it’s time for the boomers to step down and let the younger generations lead.
It was a tough decision but imo they voted based on unknowns. Stating if a shutdown occurred then it would hand them over keys to do what they want. That was an unknown assumption but we do know the CR sucked yet the still endorsed it. I’m disappointed in how they’re not standing up more and thinking it’s the old fashioned crew that is stunting the party. No offense to boomers I’m gen X so not far behind but we need more from what they’re giving us then the constant playing it safe because it’s not aligned with what is happening now maybe in the simpler times but now we need to fight.

Musk Email Reaches Italian Workers. It Did Not Go Well.
Employees at the Aviano Air Base who serve American forces got a familiar demand to list their achievements. Unions say Italy “is not the Wild West like the U.S.”Italian employees at the Aviano Air Base in northern Italy paused from flipping burgers, unloading trucks and restocking shelves recently to open an email from their bosses demanding that they list five key accomplishments from last week.The email was a by-now familiar demand from President Trump’s chief cost-cutter, Elon Musk, carrying with it the threat of termination if they did not respond. But on this occasion, it did not land with government employees in the United States, but rather in Italy, a country where workers’ rights are held sacrosanct.The result set the stage for a puzzling clash of cultures, with the world’s richest man and his job-thrashing chain saw on one side, and one of the world’s most protective champions of the forever job on the other.“We are in Italy here,” said Roberto Del Savio, a union representative and an employee at the base. “There are precise rules and thank God for that.”Aviano, an Italian air base that hosts the United States 31st Fighter Wing, employs more than 700 Italian civilian personnel who on a daily basis cook and clean and generally keep the base running.In all about 4,000 Italian civilian employees work at bases serving about 15,000 American soldiers in Italy, turning each into a sort of a miniature American town where U.S. military personnel can find American food and other familiar items from home.Those jobs, in keeping with longstanding labor traditions in Italy, are fully unionized and protected under Italian labor laws. But at the same time, the employees work for the United States government, which pays their salaries.Labor unions say the email was forwarded from a department head to dozens of Italian civilian employees working in the Aviano base’s Army & Air Force exchange service, which provides goods and services to the U.S. Army. No one seemed certain whether it was a one-off misunderstanding or if Mr. Musk was attempting to assert his demands over Italian workers as well as American ones. A Department of Defense official said that while those emails were meant for U.S. employees, local employees “could receive emails,” too.The confusion raised questions of whether Mr. Musk could export his brand of unbridled techno-libertarianism to a country that is “founded on labor” per the first article of its Constitution, or whether his chain-saw would snag on Italy’s notoriously thick bureaucracy.“Ours is a system built on democracy, safeguards, and protections provided by contracts that must be respected,” Pierpaolo Bombardieri, the secretary general of Italy’s Uil union said in a statement.Mr. Bombardieri called the emails “unacceptable” and the method “aberrant.” Italy’s unions wrote to the Italian government and the U.S. embassy asking for explanations.For now, the ground rule appears to be that Italian civilians must answer the email only if they receive it directly from the U.S. government — not if it is forwarded to them, as happened at Aviano and at least one other base in Italy, in the city of Vicenza. But it remained unclear whether the Department of Defense was going to reach out to Italian workers directly.Some German employees of the U.S. government in Germany also received Mr. Musk’s first email asking them to explain their work output, said a senior diplomat in Berlin, who did not want to be named while talking about an ally. (Mr. Musk’s follow-up email appears to have been sent only to American employees in Germany, the diplomat said.)In the meantime, some Italian employees had answered the email, said Mr. Del Savio. “One says I was slicing pizza, another says something else.” he said. “But we were all very puzzled,” he said. “Italy is not the Wild West like the U.S.”Despite recent changes that attempted to make the labor market more flexible, Italy’s labor laws continue to offer broad protections to employees. Especially in the public sector, getting a permanent job is often seen as a guarantee to be unfireable for life. Many in Italy value this system as a backbone of the Italian welfare state and its democracy, while others point to it as a rigid and inefficient juggernaut that prevents jobs from being created for young people.Stories of half-hour long workdays and daylong coffee breaks are something of a legend in Italy. Some have said a touch of Musk-style slash and burn approach would not hurt here.“Italy would also need Musk’s ax,” Nicola Porro, an Italian journalist and right-wing commentator, wrote in a blog post, decrying Italy’s “useless positions.”Italians seized upon the juxtaposition. One TikTok creator, Alberico Di Pasquale, made a video pretending to show an Italian employee on a permanent contract answering Mr. Musk’s email. “No. 1: I come to work, No. 2: I clock in, No. 3: breakfast,” he said. “No. 4: tournament with my colleagues to see who will get the coffee; No. 5: I get the coffee. Repeat five times points 4 and 5. No. 6: I go pay my bills and grocery shop; No. 7, I clock out.”But while some had fun with the demands from Mr. Musk, for union representatives at the American base in Aviano, and other Italians, it was serious business.As Mr. Trump questions the U.S. commitment to NATO and insists that Europe must defend itself, fears of spending cuts are spreading at U.S. bases abroad.Amid a 30-day freeze of federal credit cards, the U.S. government last week also froze the credit cards that Italian employees at Aviano used to purchase equipment for the base, then started a hiring freeze, the unions said.Union workers said they did not know what was going to come next. But they said they were going to fight on.“Musk can do whatever he wants in the United States,” said Emilio Fargnoli, a union representative. “If they are happy with it, sure,” he added. “Not here.”https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/12/world/europe/musk-email-italy-airbase.html?smtyp=cur&smid=bsky-nytimes

Fired federal employees will flood the job market. They have worries, and so do employers.
I thought this article was pretty disrespectful. What skills do feds have that will be helpful in the private sector? //By Lynne Curry | Alaska WorkplacePublished: 11 hours agoAs thousands of former federal employees flood the job market after mass layoffs, they struggle to land new roles — and face unexpected hostility from the private sector.A fired federal employee wrote this week: “I’m lost trying to figure out how to land a new job before my savings runs out. Although I worked for the federal government for 22 years, I moved to a new position four months ago and so qualified as a probationary employee and got axed. Every job listing asks for a ‘fast-paced, results-driven leader.’ This phrase intimidates the heck out of me. None of my federal jobs rewarded speed; they rewarded accuracy. I know how to document decisions and follow procedures, but hiring managers aren’t looking for that. And I’m 50. What if I can’t find a job?”An employer wrote: “When we posted a position for a senior analyst last week, I received a resume from a terminated federal employee. His resume checks all our boxes — decades of experience, high-level clearances, specialized knowledge. But I worry that he’ll have unrealistic expectations about compensation or hours. If we hire him, will he stay when he learns we often work 10-hour days? Or expect a six-figure salary with a pension baked in? Will he able to adjust to our pace? It’s a gamble.”A federal worker who landed a private sector job shared: “I expected sympathy from my new coworkers over my losing my federal job. Instead, they tell me it’s time federal workers ‘join the real world.’ They remind me they got laid off during the pandemic while I collected a regular paycheck, with no loss of pension or health benefits.”Challenges for federal workers entering the private sectorMultiple surprises await government workers transitioning into private sector employment.Job security: Most federal workers have never faced employment at-will or performance-based terminations.Different performance expectations: Few former government employees have had to hit quarterly revenue goals, customer retention targets or efficiency metrics —standard in private-sector roles.Salary expectations: Many former federal workers expect higher pay because of their GS pay scale history. They may also assume their compensation includes structured raises and pensions — which few private employers offer.Work culture shift: The federal system rewards process and documentation, while private employers prioritize profitability, speed and efficiency. Private sector employers expect initiative and self-direction, while many federal jobs emphasize procedural correctness. Public sector jobs often involve fewer work hours and more predictable schedules compared to the private sector’s longer work hours and less predictable schedules.Friction with new colleagues: While many fired federal workers expect empathy from their new colleagues, they may not find it. Federal employees kept their salaries, pensions and health insurance during the pandemic, while private sector workers lost their jobs or had their salaries cut.Lengthy job hunt: Fired federal workers are entering a tough job market and will need to compete with private-sector workers over a limited number of openings for white-collar work.What fired federal workers can do to prepareThey can:Assess their transferable skills and rebrand them for civilian jobs.Focus on jobs involving compliance, project management, policy analysis, regulatory compliance and cybersecurity.Look for positions with employers who hold federal contracts or work in heavily regulated industries and might welcome their expertise in navigating bureaucratic structures.Rework their resumes by deleting government jargon and acronyms.Engage with professional and industry contacts to access the “hidden job market.”Pursue additional training and certifications to gain new skills and align existing skills with private-sector needs.For thousands of federal employees entering unfamiliar territory, the transition won’t be easy. But those who adapt and embrace private-sector expectations will have the best shot at success.Lynne Curry writes a weekly column on workplace issues.

We are the face of a Federal Employee
Let's put a face to what's going on. I am that face. I am a Fed for 18+ years. If you are M-AGA, I am the person you are routing for to be terrorized, to be traumatized. You know me. We've celebrated together. We've mourned together. We've hung out. We've drank. We've worked out. We've vented. We've played and adventured. We have done so much together. Republican or democratic didn't matter. We were people. But MAGA doesn't care about people. When you cheer on T-rump or M-usk you cheer on my demise. You cheer on my children suffering. You cheer on the destruction of our democracy. Our society. The society that allowed us to have separate beliefs, separate religions, separate parental styles, separate everything but still be friends. I am what M-usk and T-rump hates. I am a Fed. I am a patriot. I love this country. I am strong. I am fearless. I am hated. I am not hated based on ability, integrity, intelligence, or usefulness. I am hated because I am in the way of corporate profits over people. I am hated because I believe in our constitution. I am hated because I believe in my oath to serve the constitution over any person including the president. I am hated because of dumb memes and sound bites. But you know me. I am me. I care about you. I have been there for you through the hardest times. I am your friend. But you hate me because someone you don't know told you to. I am not "one of the good ones". I won't be "ok". I am every Fed, I'm here to serve this country. I'm here for you personally. I'm here to provide for my family. I am hurting. But you still hate me. Can you tell me why you hate me?

Do you think we will get our Remote/Telework back?
I know most of us are in the same boat of uncertainty... our agency cancelled all remote and telework agreements and have to RTO on Monday. Yes, I know there are far more concerning things going on but having to RTO has got me so horribly anxious and depressed since I have a baby and my husband is currently working out of state. I hope everyone is hanging in there. This subreddit has definitely in one way or another helped me feel less alone in all of this.

TSA here, I Don’t Know If I’ll Have a Job in Six Months,
I’ve been a TSA officer for years, working to keep the traveling public safe. I’ve also been a union representative, fighting for fair treatment and better working conditions for my coworkers. But right now, I don’t know if I’ll even have a job six months from now.DHS Secretary Christy Noem just unilaterally canceled our collective bargaining agreement, stripping away our rights without any negotiation. On top of that, the mass firings happening across DHS, including at TSA, are only getting worse. Over 400 DHS employees have already been let go, more than 200 from TSA alone. There’s no transparency, no accountability; just sweeping workforce reductions that are leaving thousands of federal employees like me in a state of complete uncertainty.I don’t know what to do. If this continues, I may have no choice but to sell my home, cash out my TSP, and start over somewhere else. I’ve spent my career protecting this country and standing up for my colleagues, and now it feels like we’re being thrown away without a second thought.I never thought I’d be in a position where I’d have to worry about losing everything just because an unelected official decided to rip up a contract. But here I am, unsure if I should start packing or if I’ll even have a way to rebuild if they take everything from me.This isn’t just a job.. It’s my livelihood. It’s my future. And it’s terrifying to think it could all be gone in an instant.

Anyone Else Freaked Out By How Bad the Job Market Is?
I started applying for jobs the day after the election because I anticipated some of what would happen come January. Despite doing all the things you hear you're supposed to do, like tailoring your resume and working your network, I've only gotten like a half dozen interviews that have turned into zero job offers. Elmo assured me there were high productivity private sector jobs out there to replace my low productivity government job. I'm not seeing them and starting to freak out. Is it just me or is everyone else running into the same thing?

Thank your HR personnel! We are working around the clock!
This is a minor vent, but also a reminder!My agency just got our list for all probationary employees that are being reinstated. As an HR person, we now have to work around the clock to reinstate the employees and make sure their records are correct. It’s a very tedious process and there’s a lot of moving parts that have us in back-to-back meetings and working long hours to try and fix.I am pissed that we have to clean up their mess (you know who I’m talking about). If they had done this right from the beginning, we wouldn’t have to be reinstating everyone and fixing their records.If you are one of the probationary employees that are getting reinstated, please thank your HR specialist because they are doing a lot to make sure that you are paid correctly and your record is fixed.

House Dem leadership opposes the Sept. 30 stopgap coming for vote next week
Jeffries letter to Dems on government funding: House Democrats would enthusiastically support a bill that protects Social Security, Medicare, veterans health and Medicaid, but Republicans have chosen to put them on the chopping block to pay for billionaire tax cuts. We cannot back a measure that rips away life-sustaining healthcare and retirement benefits from everyday Americans as part of the Republican scheme to pay for massive tax cuts for their wealthy donors like [redacted]. Medicaid is our redline.

Childhood Trauma Prepared Me
Any other Feds out there that grew up in... Uh... less than perfect households? Man, I feel like that's the reason we all crave the 1) stability, 2) rules/regulations, 3) and serving others to fulfill the need for self-worth. Having all this chaos at work is almost soothing and bringing back memories of working harder to bust thru bullshit. I'm not sure m*skrat understands how we all STRUGGLED FOR YEARS to get these jobs and then TRAIN FOR YEARS to be the best at what we do. Buckle up buttercups. I'm just getting cozy.

Got my final SF-50. Reason for termination: “In pursuit of government efficiency.”
Rewriting for clarity: Fired probie here. This is not a real reason to terminate someone. The comments are telling me that it’s probably someone helping me out from the inside which is really nice. I hope I win my appeal. Just sucks that we’re all going through this and I hope everyone is hanging in there. Take care of your mental health, go on a walk, eat some good food. Rooting for all you guys.

Supervisor tells OPM to shove it.
I work for the DoD and there has been a lot of questions about the OPM email since our illustrious SECDEF told all DoD employees to answer. Our supervisor today sent an email telling us not to respond without their direct approval as we don't work for OPM and that, until there is direct instructions from our commands, this is known as node building. We've been instructed to NOT respond and we were reminded of our oaths to the Constitution and of our duty to protect the information we handle. Side note: I want to thank Jeff for reaching us all Cyber Awareness and how to recognize this bs as the clear fishing it is.

...and now we're re-instating our previously fired probes...
I work at one of the National Labs where our scientists have a three year probationary period. Ten days ago we fired hundreds of people. Many of our research projects involve partnerships with private-sector companies and trade groups, which rely heavily on our research output. Many of these stakeholders marched on Washington last week, visiting their congressional representatives and administration officials. This week we've been re-instating many if not most of these employees. Trouble is, their access credentials were revoked and it looks like it will take weeks if not months for new credentials to be issued. That means no computer access and very limited access to research facilities. In other words, the new administration is killing it in the efficiency department so far....

Elon’s Email will lead to their downfall…
Hear me out. The more they go off the rails and do crazy requests of us, the more Americans will sympathize with federal employees and the craziness we are enduring. All working Americans can understand the frustration of getting an email from a third party requesting the same stuff they provide to their direct manager daily, weekly, or monthly! Plus it’s confidential information in many cases bc we all have some type of clearance. We have to stay strong and hope our leadership and union holds the line and fight back strategically! Eventually the American people will finally have enough. We see it at town hall meetings now and it’s only been 30 days.Let them continue to push the button and see how they will fail. If they were so smart, they would be conservative in their approach to play it safe. However, they are not conservatives, they are lunatics, narcissists and madmen who will set their own downfall and be label accordingly in history!

Firing me will cost my state millions of dollars.
My particular department of the IRS is in place to make sure that low and moderate income households in the United States have access to free certified tax preparation. We serve mostly seniors and veterans and households in rural areas and are powered on the ground by amazing volunteers. It was my job to make sure that local agencies on the ground could deliver high-quality service with IRS compliance to you for free. The economic impact of what I do in my state probably totals over $30-$40 million in refundable credits brought back to the community through this program. That is your money. By firing me they’re limiting the average American’s access to free tax preparation done by people that actually know how to do taxes and are not just there to take money out of your pocket because they do it for free. Firing me is a way to steal from you.

Video of chainsaw & sunglasses related to firing fed workers
I just saw the video of E Lawn celebrating his firing of federal workers by running around waving a chain saw with sun glasses on. The richest person on earth, celebrating making working class families unemployed by waving around a chainsaw. People are cheering. I don’t know how to put my emotions into words other than that I feel defeated & sad. How has it come to this?

Pregnant veteran just terminated from DON
Got told today that every probationary employee in our building (including me) would be fired. No exemptions. This is DON. I’m a DCIPS employee working on a critical mission focused on an adversarial country which is the priority for this administration. To top it off I’m 7 months pregnant and 10 point preference veteran and spouse of a 100% T&P veteran. No performance issues and my supervisor is writing a glowing review. This isn’t how it’s supposed to be. I did everything right. What do I do now?

Congressman Ro Khanna here. Sharing stories of veterans illegally fired by the Trump Administration.
We are working to give workers a bigger platform and have already received stories from 150+ people through our confidential form.We've been fielding stories from illegally fired federal employees, Republican, Democrat, Independent, non-partisan, and in-between, and they are heartbreaking (shared with permission).--------GSA/FAS/CaSE/OCC/NCSC employee, a Republican veteran, for example:"20 years of service in the army. Bronze Medal of Valor Recipient. 3 combat deployments. 100% disabled. 3 kids, one of which is due March 1st. And fired without cause."And another.VA employee, Republican veteran:"I am an Army veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Additionally I spent 15 years as a police officer. I was forced out of my job due to PTSD that was caused by my time in the military, which I am service connected disabled. For the past several years, I have been working on my mental health, which had deteriorated. I had tried to work as a truck driver and couldn’t mentally handle the job. I was later connected with the job as a financial administrative specialist for the debt management center. The job is not a high paying job. It is at the GS 5 pay scale. In August 2024 I took the job. I was sold on the unit's mission on helping veterans. We were told our unit was started due to the fact that veterans were having their entire disability checks taken and it was causing issues. I really believe in what we are doing. I excelled at this job. Management and my trainers were all happy not only with my numbers, but with my interactions.I have been told I am being laid off by my management. I haven’t gotten my notice yet."--------My team is reaching out to more and more folks by the hour, connecting with them on next steps in our fight to make sure NO ONE can ignore this illegal firing spree. Just because Democrats are in the minority doesn't mean we can't stand up and use our platforms.There are even more stories folks don't want to share publicly due to backlash or fear of retaliation, which is wrong and illegal.Thank you all for continuing to stand strong, people are starting to take notice.

My family lives in Southwest Virginia in a county that went 83% for mango man. They said that people are starting to see what Is being done. They’re particularly riled up about Medicaid.

Agency Leadership: Where are you?
I’ve been a federal for over 15 years. I’ve listened to endless “leaders” talk about the importance of leading with integrity, standing up for what’s right, the importance of diversity, and the value of ethics. Now, when things are hard - folks are silent. Supervisors, managers, and leaders are seeing employees be dismissed for reasons they know not to be true. Why is there such silence? Where is their integrity?I don’t want to be dramatic, but this is exactly how horrible things have happened with regimes in the past. When will folks finally start speaking up? What’s the line in the sand? Do folks have a line? I hope everyone active and/or complicit on the dismantling of our federal government is held responsible. Our leaders are cowards.

Can’t stop crying
I got the call on Sunday afternoon I was terminated from my forest service position. I was the only person in my position at my duty station. I cleaned out my office yesterday and said my goodbyes and all of the fire crews were livid or crying or both (I worked hand in hand with them). I wasn’t even gone for 6 hours when I got a call asking for help on something because nobody knows how to do what I did. I gave my all to those crews and I feel like I lost a part of my soul when I said goodbye to them. To all of those still working and pushing through, please be there for each other as much as possible. I can’t look after my crews the way I want to anymore and I just want the support system to continue because they need it more than ever. ♥️ Edit: I was admin, to clarify. Terminated due to “poor work performance” as a probationary employee despite having glowing appraisals. Was there for almost 2 years.

I really didn’t know how many people hated government employees til now. I see people celebrating layoffs and people being fired abruptly. It’s been jarring to say the least. Even saw someone say they hope the government shuts down and there is no back pay. It’s kinda sickening to be honest.

To the federal workers being terrorized: thank you from a grateful citizen
Thanks to Federal workers, we have beautiful national parks, clean air, fresh drinking water. We have someone merrily counting fish as they flash by in a river, or being chased by a sandhill crane when he tries to see if the whooping crane eggs have hatched yet (thanks for the memories, Dad, USFWS retired).Thanks to federal workers, our tax returns are processed, our banks regulated, our Social Security checks are processed. Thanks to Federal workers, our airplanes take off, fly, and land safely. Our special needs kids can get accommodations. Families with few resources can access medical care, housing, food.Federal workers are the heart of this country and make it beautiful.Thank you. I'm sorry I haven't said this sooner, or more often.

and passing out cookies, THANK YOU! I was dreading getting out of bed and going into work today (as I have for the past few weeks), and the support really helped me. Given all the attacks on federal workers and the amount of people who seem unaware of or apathetic about what’s happening to the federal workforce, it truly meant a lot to see yet another person willing to stand out in the cold and show their support. ❤️

The unlawful RIFs are coming. Here’s what we should do to prepare:
Some people in my department have started receiving termination letters that say something along the lines of, “The skills of this employee no longer align with the policies of the current administration” instead of the “poor performance” language used in others. This is language you would see with a RIF, but like everything else this administration has done, they’re going to go about RIFs unlawfully. This document provides a good overview of how RIFs are conducted lawfully and within the bounds of the USC: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/IF/IF12908Things of note: OPM can only provide guidance for RIF procedures, they cannot carry out RIFs themselves or tell agencies they need to conduct RIFs. To that point: Only individual agencies can determine if RIFs are necessary. RIFs cannot be used for conduct or performance-related reasons. RIFs must adhere to collective bargaining agreements. Employees affected by RIFs must be given 60 full days notice before being separated.RIF documentation must provide reasons for the action, its effective date, and how to appeal to the MSPB. If more than 50 employees will be RIFed from the same agency, the agency has to coordinate with state government. There’s a whole lot more to the process. Arm yourself with knowledge. Don’t be afraid to demand documentation, delay the process as long as possible, and make it clear you will appeal whether the RIF is lawful or not. A Reduction in Force is just that — a slow, targeted reduction when agencies decide certain expertise is no longer needed. It cannot lawfully be used for rushed, mass terminations. Stay strong, everyone.

Contacting Your State Representative Does Work – I Just Got a Response!
I wanted to share some good news for anyone feeling powerless right now—reaching out to your state representatives does make a difference.I recently lost my federal job due to the mass firings happening right now, and I decided to contact my state representative about my situation. Today, I received a response from their office asking for details about my termination so they can reach out to the agency on my behalf.This is proof that your voice matters. If you’ve been affected by these layoffs, I strongly encourage you to email or call your representatives and let them know what’s happening. The more people speak up, the harder it will be to ignore.If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few quick steps: 1. Find your representatives – Congress.gov and Common Cause are good resources. 2. Send a short, direct email explaining your situation and what outcome you’re seeking. 3. Follow up if needed – A second email or a phone call can help keep it on their radar.If you’ve also reached out to your rep and heard back, drop a comment below—let’s keep the momentum going!

Today was my last day working for the government
For context, I was an employee in HHS on probation. I went in today knowing that I would be leaving shortly after. Everyone looked so sad. I counted no less than 5 people who cried over me leaving today. I got lots of people in disbelief asking how this could be, and saying that they thought we were safe. I met with our directors and they seemed offended by the language in the termination letter saying that I wasn’t a fit because my “ability, knowledge, and skills do not fit the Agency’s current needs”, and my “performance has not been adequate to justify further employment at the Agency”. I was promised letters of recommendations to the contrary if I wanted them. I’m happy that my short time was enough to make an impression on people, and I hope that I’ve been able to do some good in the time I had. That’s all I wanted in taking a job with the government anyway. It just feels bad to try to hard to help the American people for these faceless people that I have never talked to trying to gaslight me into thinking that I’m not good enough. My mental health does a perfectly good job of doing that on its own, thank you very much.

What Transparency Looks Like
For non-fed visitors who might not know, every federal contract and every federal grant is tracked on USAspending.gov. It tells you how much is allocated, who the recipient is, what it's for, where it will be spent, hell - it even tells you who the highest paid employees are at the receiving org! It is a massive wealth of data about how the government uses our money, and it's public.Every federal regulation is posted on the federal register for comment and review, along with the purpose it serves and the reasoning behind it.This is what transparency looks like. Not a tweet asserting that you are "maximally transparent", not a chart that shows numbers without context.

Disabled Veteran Federal Worker Being Laid Off
I am a disabled veteran, served in Iraq, and I never had a bad performance review. My manager actually told me to apply for a promotion in October before the hiring freeze.Now, I am probably going into work where I will be fired, without cause, in the 11th month of my probationary period.I will probably lose my house if I cannot find work in time. This administration does not care about military veterans or public servants.

When the hell did the country turn on Federal employees?
Maybe I've been completely out of the loop, but I'm still incredibly shocked by the animosity towards federal employees. Although I know that both sides have a history of not trusting the government, the distrust and disgust towards feds is completely new to me. What's happened? I'm seeing commentors on Fox AND MSNBC posts raging against us - calling us lazy, wasteful thieves. I mean it's absolutely astounding. Is it new or have I been under a rock?

I'm going to work tomorrow just to get fired.
I started in my current position in mid-july. I had just gotten out of the military, and this was my first job after separating. I moved across the country to a tiny town with no other prospects, and no family within 1000 miles.We got sent home early Friday, right before a town hall that put the news that probationary employees would be fired.I've lived with that hanging over my head all weekend.Tomorrow, I'll get up at 6am, report to work by 6:30, just like I have for the past 7 months. Except this time, I won't be bringing a lunch, and I expect to be home before the sun rises.Wish me luck.
