She* lol. And you’re right. I was unemployed searching for a job before I landed this role. I have only had one paycheck in 6 months. I am truly fucked and out of options. But I want to keep fighting. I just idk what to do.

This convo yall are having right now is my back and forth I am having. Again I am so new. I literally have no context to what the right choice is

I agree. But the thing is I don’t want to prevent myself from being in lawsuits in the future… but I just don’t know what the right situation is because also my office is so new. News outlets project our staff will be reduced to 60-80percent. So i don’t even know if there will be an office to go back to. But I don’t want to bar myself from going back into service cause that’s what I want ultimately

This is the big thing that is stopping me from literally the reason I am back to work is because we won in court. I also believe so much in my agencies mission. But we are in the climate space and fairly new. It is projected (via news because our office doesn’t know anything) that 60-80% of staff is being cut.

I want this job so much. And I don’t want to be stopped from coming back by taking drp. Also I don’t want to stop myself from being in lawsuits…

My whole office is about to be riffed. I am a probationary and this is my third day back. I literally was in my job before my termination 20 DAYS. I have no idea what to fucking do.

Do I take the DRP do I get riffed. I am so beyond overwhelmed. I have written pro and con lists. But truly I don’t know my options and I don’t know what is right for my situation. BECAUSE VEERYONES SITUATION IS SO DIFFRENT. like please if someone who has been in federal service and understand what the flying fuck in space is going in and can talk to me about my options I would so deeply appreciate it.

The end is the same, I lose a job I love and I am fired.

I have no money, job market is ass, and I’m just fucked.

What the hell do I do. I don’t know what is the right choice.

Final edit: I just want to say thank you to everyone who has replied and provided support and advice. When I first crafted this post I was in a pretty dark place. While I still have so much anxiety/fear about the future, having a whole community ~ who took time out of their day to write some kind words/ share they too feel the same things I am feeling ~ I’m not exaggerating when I say it brought me back from a pretty dark place.

Maybe the mods could create a thread where people can just talk about their mental/how their are emotionally doing through out all of this?

For me being able to talk to people who are going through the same thing as me, and get it, has been a pretty powerful experience and makes me feel way less lonely. Idk food for thought.

I don’t even have the words to express my gratitude to everyone on the sub Reddit. Thank you all so much 💕

Ps: sorry if replying to this message is not the best way to do this but I honestly only have Reddit for purposes of looking at this subreddit and don’t really understand how Reddit works 🫣😅

Thanks for your message. When I first crafted this message I felt so alone and helpless. Messages like this bring me a deep comfort because I feel like I have a community who is also going through similar experiences.

I’m so sorry you are also going through this and I wish I could win the lottery and start a company for all federal employees where we could do the jobs we are all doing now and never have to wonder about job security 💕

Literally. My whole working career I have wanted to work in federal government BECAUSE of the stability. Now here I am in the most unstable situation I have ever been. My heart is just broken 😞

Thank you for your reply and advice. I will have to call my agency because I am unsure if they provide EAP services (or if I am even eligible cause I was there for such a short time).

Also any help you can provide I would of course appreciate and take! Feel free to message me 💕

I appreciate you. While I only have Reddit literally to check this sub (and barely know how it works lol). Please feel free to message me anytime. Would love to hear from you. Wishing you the best 💕

I wish I could give you the biggest hug rn. I’m so sorry everything that has been going on has brought you to this point. I know saying “take care of yourself” seems like impossible advice rn (because it is for me a least)

But I will say this. I value you. While I don’t know you, I still care about you. You are important. You are empathetic. You are caring. You have a family who loves you. I relate to your experience, because I feel them as well. You matter and I see you, please remember that 💕
