The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services abruptly closed its San Francisco regional office, terminating dozens of employees via email. This closure is part of a larger federal plan to cut over 60,000 jobs nationwide as mandated by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Many affected workers expressed shock and sadness, recounting their long tenures and the loss of critical support programs for vulnerable children and families. This sudden job loss has created an atmosphere of chaos and despair among the staff, highlighting the personal impact of the cuts.
"It's miserable. It's awful. It has been awful for weeks - this threat, this lingering cruelty of 'you're going to be let go any day.'"
"I've been here 25 years. This is the majority of my career. We had an entire office of Head Start. They're gone. They're gone."
