I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a federal worker.
Right now I’m working on my resume. I’m open to work, preferably in finance as I have my accounting degree. If you know of anyone hiring please let me know.
As I have mentioned before, please do not post your political beliefs as I am not interested in debates or opinions. During this time, please remember that government employees are workers at risk of losing their job. It’s scary as most of us have dedicated our careers to government and government operations is all that most of us know and now will be forced to look outside for other options and start over. No matter which side everyone is one, no one wants to lose their job so please be mindful of this. Remember that government employees are humans too and it is a very scary time for most of us and our families.
i totally get that! we can’t all be perfect all the time, and i totally get that for some people they’ve just been hurt too much to ever have a shred of kindness or sympathy towards the people who are at least partially responsible for that pain
i just wish that people could be a bit less hateful, at least. reading the comments in this thread is honestly quite scary. i don’t like seeing just… pure hate, from people i would like to be allies with. it reminds me of the hate right-wingers have tbh
I think we’ve been pressure cooked as a country (speaking as an American as that’s my only real, long term reference) and maybe a society thanks to social media to amplify thay hate and outrage.
If its any small consolation, I think the communities around here are hurt and frustrated and learning how to express thay and navigate it in a space where immediate censorship isn’t as likely too occur.
Its a lot like the way we used to stretch our legs and push boundaries in the early Internet days. It wasn’t easy to get mod banned on most irc servers, but it did happen. In between those moments though, you could get away with saying some vile stuff.
Don’t take it to heart, take it as a vent in a place where we are somewhat protected from the hate speech the other side slings.
