Scenes like this one show once again that government employees believe they are special and more superior to their private sector counterparts. When citizens get laid of there are no scenes like this. Just people walking out of the building with boxes of personal items in hand. But government employees, especially those in the state department, think they are somehow better than everyone. else. They think their jobs, no matter how menial, are more important than the work every one else does. Think of all the people who lost their jobs during COVID. Or lost their jobs in the coal industry.. Or lost their jobs when factories moved overseas. Where was the sympathy for them? They were told to learn new skills and blame for their circumstances.
The people clapping for the newly unemployed make me sick, and so do the Democrats that are tweeting all the negative nonsense about what is happening.
The only thing that upsets me about these layoffs is I am betting most of the people getting laid off are probably actual workers and not cronies who got their jobs by knowing someone.
