‘Pro-Trump Federal Employees Shocked by Donald Trump’s Firing: “I Am an Excellent Employee”‘

In a shocking turn of events, federal employees who supported Donald Trump are expressing alarm and desperation as mass layoffs sweep through the government, a situation that many have dubbed the “DOGE purge.”This wave of terminations was prompted by Trump’s partnership with Elon Musk and the newly established Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been aggressively pursuing funding cuts and workforce reductions.

In just a week, thousands of federal workers from various agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Forest Service, received termination notices. The situation escalated dramatically when the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) hastily laid off a significant number of employees, only to realize the error and scramble to reinstate them. This approach to layoffs seems to neglect basic principles such as necessity, performance metrics, and seniority. Surprisingly, the cuts do not appear to consider the employees’ political affiliations, leaving many pro-Trump supporters bewildered and anxious.

Pro-Trump Federal Employees in Distress

As reports of terminated pro-Trump federal employees emerge, a poignant story surfaced on social media, highlighting the emotional impact of these layoffs. An anonymous Trump supporter shared their experience in a Facebook post that later spread on Reddit, detailing their abrupt termination on February 14. Initially optimistic about DOGE’s mission to eliminate “wasteful government spending, ”the employee found themselves out of work for alleged “performance reasons.”Despite their conviction of being an exemplary employee with nearly 16 years of service, they pleaded for reinstatement, saying, “Please, Mr. President. Thank you.”

Other narratives echo similar sentiments, as more dismissed pro-Trump federal workers took to platforms like Reddit to express their disillusionment. One user lamented their previous support for the Trump administration and stated, “As a federal employee on the chopping block, I 100% regret my vote.” They expected targeted cuts but were taken aback at the sweeping dismissals overseen by Musk, stating, “I sure as s**t didn’t vote for that.”

Another ex-employee voiced their discontent on X (formerly Twitter), sharing that they were fired after two years as a GIS technician in the Forest Service. They criticized the mass termination of probationary workers as “stupid” and expressed disbelief at the lack of logic behind such decisions.

The mass layoffs have reportedly affected thousands of probationary workers, a group typically composed of new hires and employees in their promotion period. These workers undergo a 1 to 2-year evaluation process before securing permanent status. Although probationary employees can be terminated based on performance, reports indicate some had stellar performance evaluations prior to their dismissal.

Interestingly, many of these dismissed pro-Trump employees seem to agree with DOGE’s mission but feel entitled to special treatment. In a striking response, actor Zachary Levi expressed that while he supports the need for cuts, he urged for an exemption for Trump devotees, reflecting the sentiment of those now facing the consequences of policies they once endorsed. This situation serves as a harsh reminder to supporters: even those who believe their allegiance could shield them from adversity are learning that the political game often leaves no room for favoritism when it comes to drastic measures.
