Fired Workers (Deep State) Find Few Jobs and Much Loss

[DonGlock26]

Government employment has been a middle class welfare program for the last 50 years.

Yep. White collar welfare.

 

[DonGlock26]

That is a total lie. It's well above 30%, according to polling that I saw last year. And I'm sure it's higher than that in the Dept of Defense, where the most wasteful spending is at.

If 70% are Democrats, we need to lay off 50% of them.

 

[DonGlock26]

Trump recommended a 50% increase to the military industrial complex, then started a war.

The federal gov't is much more than defense.

 

[DonGlock26]

Whatever. That does not make some random dude who got fired from USAID part of the "Deep State".

You're just a mentally ill idiot.

What I find incredible is that these idiots will hurt any number of fellow Republicans as long as they think it hurts more Dems

It's really not about party. It's about the country being flat broke and the gov't being way too big.

Wrong. Republicans are expected to be useful at something. Losing a government job should not be more than a minor inconvenience. Clearly liberals have no such standards or expectations.

 

[Rogue AI]

And I hate to break it to you, but a lot of those "unemployable government lackeys" are Republicans. Especially in the very wasteful Department of Defense.

Yet every thread and whinefest of those fired is about these unemployable liberal losers. Why is that?

No

Ok Boomer. I guess you never heard of AI.

That's weird, my Gen Z daughter has had no problem getting gigs while she's still in college.

Granted she's wicked smart, and learned to code when she was 9...but as she tells me, AI is fine for basic coding, but if you are truly good at it, the creative people will always be in demand.

But, that exposes the other elephant in the room, Gen Z and the Millenials before them, have gotten used to skating through life not having to actually do WORK.

Learn a trade and make loads of money.

 

[Doc7505]

I’ve been at my current job for ten years now. I’ve watched GenZ’s come and go by the hundreds in that time. A lot of them are just lazy so don’t last long.

I have never been unemployed longer than 24 hours in my life. Even during the bad times I always make it. Because I’m ******* good at it. Any company I apply for would shit can a GenZ in a heartbeat in order to pay me twice as much.

<~~~~~~~~~~>
Additionally, college graduates that can't spell c.a.t., much less put together cogent sentences, or research the pertinent subjects they're asked to research.
BTW, I'm not condemning all college grads, I'm just commenting on those that I've personally come in contact with.
Most don't even know how to dress for business either.

Meta is wacking 10% of its workforce as it pushed more into AI.

Meta will cut 10% of workforce as it pushes more into AI

Meta will lay off 10% of its workforce, equating to about 8,000 employees, as it continues investing heavily into artificial intelligence.

I have some empathy for what they’re going through but when you work for an agency that never should have existed in the first place you ought to have been prepared for the potential that somebody might take the broom and sweep your job away

That have never heard or considered what you are saying.

It would make absolutely no sense to them.

"A Year After U.S.A.I.D.’s Death, Fired Workers Find Few Jobs and Much Loss


People have plowed through savings, cashed out retirement funds and moved in with relatives.
Former U.S.A.I.D. workers estimate that less than half have found full-time work.


She was fired by email while on maternity leave, given 24 hours to clear out her desk and left with three days of health insurance and no severance pay. She had worked for the U.S. Agency for International Development or related groups for more than two decades. She made $175,000 a year.

That was Jan. 28, 2025. Today Amy Uccello and her husband, who also lost his job when U.S.A.I.D. funding for his nonprofit dried up, rely on food stamps, Medicaid and a supplemental nutrition program for women and children that helps with their now 19-month-old daughter.

The mortgage on their home in Washington was until recently in forbearance, meaning they negotiated to pay less than they owed each month. But the bank has now cut them off and suggested they apply for a low-income mortgage program. “We don’t know if we’ll qualify,” Ms. Uccello said. She and her husband have applied for more than 100 jobs with no luck. Most of their friends don’t have jobs either.

Nights are the hardest.
“I can’t sleep because of our own situation,” Ms. Uccello, 49, said over coffee on a recent afternoon. “I can’t sleep because of what I know what’s happening around the world. I can’t sleep because my former colleagues and friends are also suffering.”

What does the media tell Americans who have lost their manufacturing or coal mining jobs? Learn to code.
Globalism is grand until you lose your gov't job and try to find one in the private sector.

Well said

They are not too old to start over

Learn a trade if the hubby is not too proud or too lazy to work with his hands or break a sweat

It's really not about party. It's about the country being flat broke and the gov't being way too big.

Then you must be against Trump's $1 trillion tax cut for billionaires in the Big Ugly Bill last summer.

But of course you're not....because you are Trump's cuck.

 

[Alicia J]

Yet every thread and whinefest of those fired is about these unemployable liberal losers. Why is that?

Because MAGAs like you are stupid and uninformed.
