Amy, a federal employee with homeland security, expresses anxiety over the recent mass redundancy offers initiated by the Biden administration. She feels the situation has turned chaotic, as employees evaluate their future under the new regime led by Elon Musk. Many federal workers, facing pressure to accept buyouts, are instead determined to remain in their roles, resisting the push to reduce the workforce. The emotional toll is profound, with employees feeling dehumanized and demoralized, prompting a strong communal resolve not to abandon their duties despite facing forced office returns.
A billionaire is taking over a government, Amy said. The executive orders against the federal workforce feel designed to create chaos and fear.
They're trying to dehumanise us to make these changes more palatable, and are trying to rattle enough of us so that a majority of federal employees leave.
While many may think federal employees should take the offer and run, I haven't spoken to a single person jumping at it.
I was hired for a fully remote position, she said. I spend six to eight months every year overseas helping refugees who are trying to enter the US.
