loving :laffo: if you think that the majority of people who are still in the military care about people who got out, willingly or not.

Remember all of that "Oh, you don't want to get out, <insert concern troll about the economy/lack of structure/healthcare costs>" bullshit people said? This will just reaffirm that in their minds.

If there's one good thing that's probably going to come from this hiring freeze, it's that the VA governor's race has all but been but lost for the Republicans before it even began.

Unless you started official duties, you're screwed. So if you quit your old job and relocated to get settled in prior to starting work, gently caress you.

When the freeze is lifted there's no guarantee you won't have to reapply and compete for the job. But they literally don't know how it will ultimately work.

Yep. Lots of contracts getting cut back too. Anyone who owns stock in the Industrial part of the MIC better dump that poo poo right now. Lockheed-Martin, Northrup-Grumman, and all the rest thought it would be a good idea to diversify outside of DoD. :lol:

If the freeze is lifted within the next 4 years. They hate federal employees and want to wreck the civil service as much as possible while they can.

Is there any organization (besides the bureau of labor statistics) that would be tracking jobs/careers ruined directly and immediately by Trump? I feel like those stories would make good Ammo to really start to erode trumps non-psycho base.

You're applying logic and reason. I don't think anyone is safe right now that is or works for the federales. I've personally decided to hold off on a land purchase for now just to keep savings up.

My situation is kind of bizarre, I technically work for a private company, but at a DoE owned facility doing government work. There's people who have worked at the place for three different companies, and pretty much the only thing that changed was the logo on the paycheck. Hopefully it'll (and the nature of my work) will be enough to keep my position from getting cut.

This is the only hope I have of being employed this summer. Sweet student veteran summer internship out in Idaho but not directly employed by the government.

Also if Trump touches post-9/11 I'll be part of the loud response because that's what's paying for school and keeping me fed. Granted I'm already politically involved but there's always more.
