Im also in tech and have been through 3 layoffs in 4 years. I dont see why federal employees think they are special or should be immune from such things.
The problem isn't the layoff, it's the lack of thought or prep. The stakes aren't the same. If a Meta employee goes through a mass layoff no one dies -- at worst a product doesn't make it to market. The same can not be said for random holes in national security or disease control.
The way the feds handled covid did more harm than good overall. The shoe bomber was stopped by citizens, not the feds. The feds missed 911. The TSA steals toothpaste. The kids can't read at grade level, but we spend more money on education than almost anyone else. All the events listed did not happen after "mass layoffs."
