Trump Administration Executes Mass Federal Layoffs Nationwide

The Trump administration has initiated mass layoffs across multiple federal agencies, causing widespread anger and distress among affected employees. Many workers, like Elena Moseyko from the Department of Veterans Affairs, expressed feelings of betrayal and financial uncertainty after losing their jobs unexpectedly, despite previously positive performance reviews. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is overseeing these layoffs, which have primarily targeted newer hires. Reports indicate that some employees received termination notices even after accepting buyout offers, raising confusion about the process. The Office of Personnel Management acknowledged that errors may have occurred in the termination notifications, but assured that voluntary buyouts would still be honored. Overall, those impacted describe the firings as chaotic and lacking proper consideration, leading to a sense of disrespect and fear about their futures.
