A veteran takes us inside his rollercoaster 2025, thanks to DOGE
Briefly

Monte Burns, a disabled veteran, was fired from the IRS along with nearly 7,000 other probationary employees, despite good performance reviews. Following a court ruling that deemed their firings illegal, he was reinstated and placed on administrative leave. Although relieved to be getting paid again, Burns expresses anxiety about the stability of his job and his future employment prospects, particularly considering his age and disability. He hopes to retire between 65 and 70 but remains stressed about the uncertainty ahead.
I'm still very stressed and worried about it," Burns said, adding if he gets to resume his job, he will be on track to retire between 65 and 70.
