Sorry to hear it, and hope you are on your feet soon. It's so bleak.
An old acquaintance has been amplifying every fired probie scientist that crosses her path on LinkedIn. It's brave of her. But then again, her entire agency could be shuttered this weekend, so maybe it doesn't hurt.
Thanks for your service. We all appreciate it and a lot more people you’ll never meet do. This country is a lot bigger than the assholes trying to burn it down.
That’s something I’ve never said to a civil servant before, but it feels true. I hope you and your colleagues know how many of us value the work you do in our behalf.
I am very sorry to hear that you've had your career ended. Not knowing your realm, or agency, or skillset, I do thank you for the service you have performed in Government. While not easy to just pick up the pieces and get another skilled job, I have little doubt you're a skilled human being. 🕊️
thanks for working all that time in a sometimes thankless job. I worked in state government and it’s tough to work hard and hear people call you lazy and useless. some of us appreciate your effort.
Good luck. Do not cash in FERS it cannot be paid back later. Believe me or check the regs. Once out I lost 4 years annuity credits and that much in annuity. Do an extensive CV, include all the hours of training at government expense and publish. Nobody is talking about the $$ invested in us
I’m so very sorry. I became a casualty of this administration last week. When higher-education got spooked and dried up all marketing. It really sucks.
Today I celebrated 20 years and then put in my retirement paperwork. Bittersweet. I feel like you do though, once there is a new administration we will need to come back to fix everything that was broken. Congrats to you.
I hope that day is soon. Most Americans have no idea how hard civil servants work and how much better paid they would be in the private sector. Civil service is patriotism. Thank you for your service!

Thank you for being part of a dedicated public employee and helping to serve the people! 🥹
That’s bullshit.
Hoping you get your Retribution, which will also be MY retribution.
good luck with what comes next.
Good luck and ... just ... I'm sorry
And I very much hope the same
2. You're older than I thought, okay
Sure you will land on your feet somewhere, hopefully slightly more sane.
