In the UK, backlash against Tesla and Elon Musk has moved beyond traditional lines, with former Trump voting federal workers expressing regret about their votes. The article highlights feelings of betrayal and anger among these employees, many of whom now face job losses due to cuts and restructuring initiated by the current administration. They fear facing difficulties transitioning to the private sector as the job market shrinks, complicating their hopes for future employment. Their voting decisions, initially driven by economic hopes, now bring regret as they confront drastic career changes.
I feel betrayed. This is not what I wanted, to let everybody lose their job. You're fired. You're fired. You're fired. This is not 'The Apprentice.'
If I knew I was going to lose my job because Trump became president, no, I would not vote for him.
For federal workers hoping to now pivot to the private sector, things might be tricky. Lackluster corporate hiring, a shrinking middle-management job market, and pullbacks by universities are making the route to employment beyond federal agencies trickier to navigate.
Betrayal. Anger. Regret. You can read what all the workers told BI here.
