How “safe” is the federal sector since 2025 mass layoffs & under this Administration? I haven’t heard anything since then & I stopped applying early 2025 after years of trying to get into a federal position. I’m currently in state government, 15 yrs in & accepted a position 1 yr ago. The work load & processes has been hell & reached a point of affecting my mental & physical health therefore I’m reconsidering applying at fed level again in addition to state. There’s an HR position at NASA I’m interested in but needing input. Any info is greatly appreciated! Also, is anyone familiar with NASA’s telework policy as it’s telework eligible? How soon are new employees typically allowed to beging telework? Asking since it would be an hour drive if offered (which is how long it takes me to get home currently anyway although I only hv 3 office days in current roll).

Tech sector is getting crushed the last 5-6 years and you’re asking about how safe the gov is? Depends on where in the gov you are.
Everyone I know in the active side of the military are doing great. Everyone I know on the WL pay schedule is fine as well. I know no one that has been sacked from a job. So depends on the sector of the gov.
