I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.

Right now I'm working on my resume. I'm open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.

As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It's scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.

Where do you see that it’s someone that voted for Trump?

'Please don't make this political' should read as 'I know my politics caused this to happen, please don't show me i helped do this to myself'

Imagine if this were happening under a Democrat admin, would this person even consider not making it political?

Before the current administration government workers were one of the most secure positions under the largest employer in the country. People would take a pay cut to avoid the more volatile private industries for the security and benefits of a government job. Now our allies abroad and internal workers no longer can trust in those securities.

Suddenly they don't want to talk about political opinions? Fat fucking chance of that, bud.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

They are still blaming Biden and Obama, though 😮‍💨

That feeling when you find out YOU are the government waste

Just like all those people with their spouses getting deported going "I thought they were only going to deport the bad ones!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Bet they'll still vote for that R no matter what. Absolute bootlickers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Oh I'm sure. They just don't want to talk about it any more.

I hope all republican voters lose their jobs ❤️❤️❤️ maybe starve too 😁

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago

I think "have the day you voted for" is the best thing to say here.

He may not be interested in debates, but his choices show that he has terrible judgement.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 day ago

Also, what’s the betting that they were very interested in “debates” before the negative consequences affected them directly?

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Also, there wouldn't be "a debate" if he admitted making a mistake.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

Literally all it takes.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Alternative facts means never having to say you're sorry.

I've noticed it's always "let's not make this political" when their faces are being eaten.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 13 hours ago

It's always 'R' voters who "don't like politics," or "aren't political," or "don't want to make this political."

Nope, no sympathy or empathy here for you. You should have known better cause you're a fucking adult.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

there's a point to sympathy kindness and compassion.

it feels good, makes you a better person, and creates a better, kinder, more resilient world.

except when you apply it to nazis. then it feels shitty, makes you a worse person, and contributes to the well being of nazis that helps them destroy everything that has ever been decent or virtuous.

[–] [email protected] 83 points 1 day ago

They don't want to talk politics because their political belief was in hurting other people.

Fuck em. If they voted for this shit they deserve the suffering.
