being in D.C., you’re familiar with how federal jobs work right?
right before the election in 2016, i certed and was selected for a civil service position at the VA in New Orleans.
at the time i had 15 years in service and was looking to relocate to a bigger city with a more chill position so i can go ahead and retire
Trump takes office and the first thing he did was put a hold on all federal hiring. nothing specific or you know, any official direction, just a vague ass letter about what he *kinda* wanted
with no official instruction, the idiot heads of departments, in an effort to not piss him off, started canceling jobs, announcements, and, contracts. and just like that, the job i thought i had, i didnt. and the president i thought wasnt going to directly effect me, directly effected me.
just saying.
