Wife was a probationary employee let go over the weekend. She was a researcher with CMMI. If anyone has leads on jobs for a PhD social science researcher with an expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance, please let me know!

I was commenting about the original poster and their significant other losing their job and the other poster was talking about typos based on age which is understandable. I don't take it as a joke but more of a reflection on modern typing.
Condolences to your wife - and you. I can imagine how upsetting, hurtful, and scary this must be. As a retired federal employee, and as a human, my heart goes out to you and all those who are being unjustly summarily fired by the goon squad that's taking over our country.
There must be some law firms gearing up to sue Trump and Musk over unlawful actions pertaining to Medicare, Medicaid and ACA who could use someone with her knowledge and expertise.
With credentials like this, I doubt she'll have any problems finding work in the private sector. She'll probably make a lot more money too. I'm betting she wasn't looking forward to working for Trump anyway, was she?
Argh. An analyst role at CRS just closed that I think was in Medicare and Medicaid. Keep an eye out there for openings - would be right up her alley I suspect.
That is so..... no words. People reading this, please also consider putting your voice on a paper that says, 'No More'.... I pray your wife finds a new good gig. https://act.moveon.org/survey/impeach
Wish I could help considering my income is still frozen. Wanted to add a note of personal gratitude. I have worked with CMMI staff on community projects, and they have also been thought partners in building healthier cities and towns.
Ok. Is she in Gerontological Society of America? They usually have a career op site. And since gero is a small social science field, she may know people!
So sorry you and her and all our government employees are going thru this right now. You ALL don’t deserve this treatment for your hard work. I know folks with chronic illnesses and people with disabilities often need help learning about insurance options could use her expertise - freelance work?
If your wife is willing to go into private industry, Wellsky is a good option -- health care focused software company looking for employees with experience in Medicare/Medicaid to talk to customers. They have 60 job openings on LinkedIn. I have a friend there who's happy with the org!
My heart breaks for your wife, you, your family, even extended family. Give yourselves some time to grieve. Then get back on the horse, look at legal options, get that resume together, network. Most of all, stand together and let her know that she is “enough”. This is definitely their issue, not her
I'm sorry for your loss. I reposted. If you're looking to relocate, please see if there's anything open in washington, California, or oregon states. We're looking forward to meeting new folks out here on the West Coast.
To probationary federal employees who have been terminated:
Democracy Forward has filed a first-of-its-kind class-wide complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. If civil servants want to join in the complaint, you can email [email protected]
I’m sorry for your family. I’m hoping she finds employment soon and rebounds. I don’t have many followers but I reposted, every little bit counts these days.
Sending good vibes her way! I hope she lands a really great job quickly ! As well as all the government workers that FOTUS/DOGE illegally and unceremoniously let go!
I am sorry for the set back. My wife is likely to be let go by the same people soon. I suspect your wife would be employable in many more welcoming nations. If we were able we would leave.
So sorry this happened to her. I was promoted in civil service many times and never had to worry about losing my job. Promotions should be a joyous occasion.
If you have a 401(k) pension plan, let me tell u that most of your funds are invested in companies like Tesla, Amazon, etc., please review your investments and consider reallocating them to 'cash' / 'gold'. It looks like they are deceiving us from behind
Tell your wife I am so sorry that she is going through this. I am a state employee who was riffed a couple of years ago, so I know the horrible feeling. Tell her to stay strong. She will come out on top! Much love from Oklahoma
I am so sorry to hear this! Hoping there is some justice and compensation for her & everyone else unjustly fired , or laid off, or whatever b.s. they're calling it!
I'm so sorry. We are all going to have to fight back against this regime. Hope you and your wife can hold until we can figure out how to overthrow this hostile takeover of our nation. Good luck.
I am not a federal worker, but they protested all over the country yesterday, so you do not know what you are talking about. They also were protests
on President’s Day. I did protest then. Did you?????
Hope she finds something quickly! That would be great if a bunch of researchers like her could join together and form a company that continues what they were working on.
Not sure if this will help. Don’t know how to forward a post but good luck to you and wife There’s been so much interest in from US 🇺🇸health workers and jobs in Canada that I’m posting recruitment links for all 10 provinces and 3 territories: 🧵 #healthcarejobs🇨🇦
I’m not sure how the immigration works but in 2025, Canada aims to welcome 395,000 permanent residents, 305,900 new students. 367,750 new temporary workers
A note, just like we (have previously) hire(d) folks at US universities whose expertise is unrelated to US culture or systems, so too might other foreign universities. It’s worth checking - and expertise with national healthcare systems *might have transferable knowledge bases.
My sister was a probationary employee let go this past weekend. That was one of the pettiest moves a president and his right hand man can pull. I hope President Musk and his lapdog Trump choke on their tax cuts.
I don't think the U.S. will have any healthcare left in 4 years for her to use her expertise.
Might try an intelligent country that appreciates the educated. Because the U.S. only favors morons.
Local governments will start needing people to backfill roles and programs being stripped- maybe have her check the state government website- state Medicaid all work with the managed care insurances too.

Just wait until you get my age. Your typos will come fast and furious. Makes me was to screen...I mean SCREAM. ♥️
Makes me WANT to screen. That one wasn't on purpose!!
😂😂
Where did I put that bottle of Merlot? I need a drink!
It's all a calculated effort to make the dumb dumber to control their feeble minds. I mean who in their right mind dismantles the dept of Education?
I will repost
for trump if so get fucked…
That may work even better for her

I have a friend who lost her job for the same reason.
America’s gonna screw over ALL of Trumps family

We are going to need to stop paying taxes to a hijacked government and start paying into our own programs we own for the public not billionaires
on President’s Day. I did protest then. Did you?????

My point is that US healthcare is rather unique
But in the end, politics aside, a doctor is a doctor and insurance is insurance

We, the people, should be the ones making life scary for them!
This nice official government website gives an overview of wrongful terminations: https://www.usa.gov/wrongful-termination
That they are doing this wrong means they've gone around HR folks who know.
