Thank you for writing your story. The incompetence level of T and his enablers is breathtaking. As you say, it will take years to get back what we have lost with employees such as you. Thank you for your service and I'm glad to hear that you found another job which I hope is rewarding.
Thank you for your story. It’s unfortunately all too common. The explicit goal of Project 2025 is to destroy the current government and rebuild it as a white Christian nationalist machine. They are doing it at record speed. Facists expressly are threatened by science and intellect, as it threatens their power and control…. Among other groups who refuse to bow to their narrow ideology.
Please be assured that most of us do not think that way and we value your experience and dedication. I’m glad you found other work, but too many have suffered under this administration. I’m sorry you had to go through this, and I support any effort govt employees take to hold this administration to task.
These stories are important but I would like to urge people to not ignore the clear and present danger you are in RIGHT NOW. Your president wants to impose the Insurrection Act. That means he will be able to call for a curfew, he will be able to ban protests and if you do protest he will be able to call YOU insurrectionists. Which in turn means he will be able to order his troops to fire upon you, wether you are American citizens or not. You may not have a job but if I were you I would worry about having LIFE!
Reading this hit me hard, because I went through something similar. I was laid off as a federal contractor, and even though I knew mass cuts were coming, nothing prepares you for the feeling of being treated like you’re disposable after years of dedication and hard work. Like you, I had strong performance reviews and was proud of the work I was doing — but none of that mattered once politics and ideology took over.
The worst part isn’t just losing a job. It’s also the message it sends: that expertise, public service, and commitment to the country mean nothing in the face of a power grab. That message will echo for years, discouraging talented people from ever choosing public service in the first place.
It’s heartbreaking to see brilliant, passionate people pushed out not because they failed, but because they did their jobs too well for an administration that sees competence as a threat.
Thank you Home of the Brave for giving me the opportunity to share my story. I am honored to be part of an initiative to amplify the voices of federal workers who serve the American people. Right now is an especially difficult time for federal workers as their jobs are being threatened - if they can't do their job or are fired, the vital work they do such as ensuring social security checks get sent on time and food and medication screening will go undone. Americans rely on these services to live and stay healthy, so threatening the federal workforce only threatens the security and safety of all Americans. If you know someone who works for the federal government, please send them your love and support!

I get these stories as emails. If they are being broadcast far and wide on social media, then kudos to you guys!
