I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.
Right now I’m working on my resume. I’m open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.
As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It’s scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.
You cannot extend solidarity to people unwilling to recognize or engage with it. It’s the ratchet effect/overton window. We stand up for their rights, they don’t stand up when we exercise those same rights. Medication gets more expensive? Everyone is incensed. Viagra is taken off the expensive list, but HIV/birth control meds stay on it, where’d the outcry go? VA benefits slashed? Huge mobilization. Benefits for women’s shelters slashed? Crickets from them. We end up in a situation where only white men have rights because that’s the only time we’re all standing together. Until I see more white men fighting for women and minorities, I’m gonna have to ask why you think this strategy is working. (Obviously, #notAllMen or whatever)
