Coming face to face with the real pain being caused by DOGE.... These are not just numbers... These are people.

When we hear about job loss due to the DOGE purge of government it's easy to cheer on not realizing that there's actually a face attached to that number. It's time for us to look and listen.

Here is the fact, governments who expand beyond their needs have to cut the number of employees on the payroll. It's no different than a private company. With so much debt, the U.S (and many Western countries) have to make difficult decisions. Blame all the fools who burned trillions over the last couple of decades in wars and other gross waste.

By actual count, I lost my job 6 times during my career from 1971 to 2016. None of them had any connection to job performance. Shit happens. People deal with it, all the time.

Just because it's a government job doesn't make it a tragedy.

Elon Musk has shown often that any large organization can be shrunk with no deterioration of the mission, provided it's done judiciously.

Exactly! The US Federal Govt. has been growing by leaps and bounds with no oversight and not a single RIF. It's not just the current payroll, it's a massive PENSION PROGRAM that will be an added burden to future generations.

Time to do what most of us had to do or currently do. Do Interviews and get a new damn job. Life's tough suck it up, buttercup.

The beast has been pissing away TRILLIONS.

These gravy-train riders can go fuck themselves.

welcome to the real world.

We can all sympathize with someone who loses their job, no one should gloat. The misappropriation of debt and resources unfortunately has forced the hand of the U.S. If Trump knew the politocal games and which politicians were just back stabbing criminals in 2016, he might have been able.to do what he is now. Though his political capital is leaps and bounds more valuable in 2024 than 2016. He is a political force now, he was not viewed this way in his first term with the same broad appeal.

As long as Musk earns 400 times more than those he paid off what's the diff, eh, fuck 'em is what you be saying.

You and some of the other whiner bitches need to get a grip on reality!
Musk isn't getting paid for his work with DOGE.
What he "earns" was accrued before this time.
Read up on the guy, he's a far more effective and beneficial human than you are.

Musk is getting paid in ways you find to be ok....He ain't doing shit fer free, he never does.

When is the president and vice president going to lay off their staff and take a pay cut?

About the same for me, though a bit more than 6 times.
Interesting footnote is that about 2/3+ of those former employers are also tits up and gone.
Such is the breaks in the private sector where productivity and profitability are essential. Where there are no taxpayers to keep gouging to cover your failing arse.

The kid's getting an essential lesson of life they failed to teach him while in school.

You never fail to astound me with the depths of your ignorance and stupidity.

The Depts, getting RIFs, cuts in funding and staff, and/or elimination are all within the Executive Branch.
They are the staff reductions.
BTW, some of those getting RIF were making more in pay and benefits than either POTUS or VP.
Last I knew, Trump isn't drawing his salary.

 

[Moonglow]

Cutting the federal workforce will increase unemployment and put the US in recession due to a loss of fiscal transactions, stiffing the farmers will cause prices to crash as farmers file for bankruptcy, also contributing to a loss of economic activity.
In January 2025, US consumer sentiment decreased for the first time in six months, according to the University of Michigan's Surveys of Consumers. The Conference Board also reported a decline in consumer confidence.

There have not been any cuts to the White House staff.

Why should there be ???
Do you have any clue what the jobs of the White House staff are and how many ???

(I doubt it. You're a clueless troll on nearly everything.)
