So sorry to hear. No comfort that you are caught up in a bigger cluster F led by idiots. Don’t forget your COBRA medical continuation rights (it’s expensive though).

I’m so sorry to hear about your layoff.

Ugh, I’m so sorry…

The fact that this is not just the largest layoff in US history but that it’s mostly high-quality union jobs that are being eliminated and by the literal richest person in the world. So, so grim.

Oh, and for the record: I worked for a private contractor, not a govt agency, and it was largely on contracts evaluating programs with huge bipartisan appeal like workforce development/employment services, maternal + infant health, early education, etc. Our DEI work is privately funded

Which reminds me LOL I’m glad I stuck around long enough to learn that the people crying about the woke language police are forcing ACF’s Division for Economic Independence (basically devoted to getting single moms off welfare)to pick a new name with a different acronym
