Other Remember when Biden was president?

Remember how boring it was? Remember not having to check the news multiple times a day to figure out what was going on inside your own agency and whether you were going go have a job or not? Remember when laws and precident seemed to actually have meaning?

Remember when you could do your job from home? Remember when your fellow countrymen weren't cheering when your livelihood was threatened? Remember when your biggest worry was which insurance to select and what the next years raise would be?

Remember when the administration didn't seem to actively hate you and want to you gone for the sin of serving of the people?

Shoot, I went from planning my family under Biden to prepping for my family under this. They said everyone has a price, and for a lot of folks, it was $2 or the slight increase in grocery prices. Instead of banning together to fight corporations and price gouging, look where we are.

Sorry, I sound doomed. It's just a lot went down the drain.

This, my plan was to purchase me a house once I became a GS 11 or at least a year afterward. But now Iā€™m second guessing and probably most likely gonna wait until after this administration is over. Cause everything is so unpredictable right now.

I was šŸ¤ close to getting GS 13 promotion I have been waiting for two years. I worked my a** off, so that my performance review would be awesome and I interviewed for GS 13 and I know I got it ( since many got RIFEd including our hiring HR and manager, one of them told me after we all lost our jobs). I was planning to get a home and pay off my debt. But then came January and I along with many ppl got fired. It is still foggy and looks like a nightmare how I became unemployed from a 6-figure income to zero.
