This is just the end of the deferred resignation program they offered back in May or June or whatever. These people have been gone for months, they’re just not getting paid anymore starting tomorrow.
Then their houses get bought up by billionaires, and they get thrown into for profit prisons, where they’re forced to do slave labour for multinational corporates in order to buy soap.
It’s definitely a wealth grab. They’re moving all the skilled jobs to the red states and as those jobs bring more and more people with critical thinking skills the state will become less and less red. Eventually those states won’t align with the current politics but it won’t matter, the ones in power will be long gone.
The damage will already be done and the wealthy pockets will be more flush than ever when the pendulum swings back a tiny bit and we get social security 2.0, which is then attacked or neglected for the following 80 years.
You’d think they would have time but the market the past ~18 months or so has been absolutely brutal. My wife is 1 year without a job. My brother is 2 years without a job (aside from a stint at dominos.)
HR and Dev.
The roles my wife keeps getting end up disqualifying her salary wise. She was making over 100k before in her last two roles. Now everything wants to pay 50-60k for Boston based labor in places that are a nightmare commute like boston’s seaport (no public transit, snow for 3 months of the year, no free parking and typically $400+/mo parking costs.) They’re all ass in chair based roles with 5 on site expectations too, where in the past it was typically 2-3 days on site.
Fresh grads basically can’t get jobs nowadays so the desperation drives down wages, meanwhile rents are basically static and other costs of living keep on rising.
Nah, some people have outright quit, and switched to contracting. Its not like they had much of a choice with the current situation. I know of two people that did this recently.

Well, this is a big accelerant to the downward trajectory of the US economy.
100k people who won’t be able to afford to pay their bills soon.

Everything is proceeding as-planned.

It’s the circle of shit.
Most of them had ample time to find a new job, and I can’t work up much sympathy for the people who took the program without any other prospects.

We are talking about a mass influx of 100000 people with similar skillset and experience, leaving at the same time.
That saturates the job market.
Why would you think they have similar skillsets and experience?
Edit: it’s a valid question, you babies. The government does a shitload of different things and government employees come in all ages.
People working similar jobs tend to accumulate the same skills and experiences.
