Michael Stahl, after 12 years of freelancing, sought job stability and was offered a communications role at FEMA, which was later rescinded due to administration budget cuts. As a freelancer, he had excelled but sought a full-time role for financial security and mental well-being. Despite his experience and strong skill set, he struggled to find consistent employment, leading to increased anxiety and credit card debt. The fleeting opportunity at FEMA represented a chance for both financial support and a better work-life balance.
When I told people in late February that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had offered me a job, the typical response was, "I thought they were getting shut down."
