Whining about the situation that many people I’ve known in the private sector have dealt with. You get laid off because you’re paid too much, you’re too new, you’re useless or lazy, or they’re just reorganizing. Welcome to the real world.

Anyone who had been paying attention in the last four years would have understood that the government hired way too many people - most of last year's job gains were all federal.

The government would have toppled over had that continued - or, it would have required mass firings. Either way, our loveable young'in would have been out of a job.

From what I’ve seen lately that is not how it works in the public sector. They do not make cutbacks—at least not in personnel.

Normally, no. But this isn't a normal situation - the government has grown at a phenomenal clip. At the rate it was going, it probably would have started to fall apart.

Yes, but instead it’s scare tactics, this woman cut dead trees, since she’s laid off people’s houses will burn, etc.

Could be. Probably be a lot of cuts and then useful jobs will filter back in.
