On Valentine's Day, the Trump administration carried out layoffs at USDA research agencies, impacting probationary employees. These layoffs were not along partisan lines, as a terminated worker expressed their anguish in a viral message to President Trump. Despite being labeled a poor performer, the worker claimed to possess excellent job performance and deep loyalty to the USDA, emphasizing their vital role in supporting agriculture and ensuring safety in food production. The widespread visibility of the message underscores the emotional turmoil of government employees affected by such policies.
Donald J. Trump Hellor Sir. I am one of the probationary employees terminated by the Doge at 9:00pm last night; February 14. I voted for you, Sir, three times, and I still support you.
My termination letter said I was being let go for performance reasons. I know that's not true; I am an excellent employee. I've been with the Federal government for almost 16 years.
