Summary
Federal workers who voted for Trump in 2024 are facing unexpected job losses as the administration implements massive workforce cuts.
Michael Graugnard, an attorney advisor at USDA, was laid off three months into his role despite managerial assurances. While he supports “government efficiency,” he didn’t anticipate this implementation but doesn’t regret his vote.
Similarly, IRS veteran James Diaz criticizes the administration’s “chainsaw” approach to cuts. However, others like Ryleigh Cooper, who voted for Trump’s IVF promises, now regret their decision after losing her Forest Service job.
The layoffs are part of Trump and Musk’s plan that has terminated thousands of federal workers and convinced 77,000 others to resign.
In my country just a rumor of a potential factory shutdown that cause the loss of 200 jobs will create huge strikes and riots in multiple cities.
In the USA, unjustified firings for thousands and thousands of persons and all you get are news pieces like this, “[the person that just lost his job still] supports government efficiency, […] but doesn’t regret his vote”
Yeah because we’re largely stupid, not passionate about anything other than hate, or busy dicking around on TikTok. I hate it here and hope to move abroad somewhere, someday.
