Amidst employees in tears following the election of Donald Trump, the Environmental Protection Agency is offering counseling sessions on "dealing with change."

[Snip]

Topics included "How to deal with change," "How do you keep your composure and make better decisions under pressure?" "How can you spend your energy more wisely—and have more as a result?" and "How do you recognize and eliminate harmful habits that cause you stress?"

The agency's Employee Counseling and Assistance Program held the sessions, which also covered "How can you stop yourself from getting hurt and/or angry?"

I think they all should be given free courses in “How to deal with getting fired.”

EPA must be almost 100% leftwing Democrat by now. Conservatives would be purged.

So screw em all.

The only class taught under Obama was, “How to destroy America”.

'Dealing with Unemployment' might be more helpful   ;-)

This bunch of crazy losers are getting paid to work, not to cry or get counseling. What a racket. At least 50% of them should be fired. Better yet, the EPA, Nixon’s worst idea, should be abolished and block grants given by the Interior Dept. to the states to do any cleanups or improvements to their environmental projects. The voters would be able to keep a close eye on what their legislators do with that money.

Gov workers will now experience what the rest of us have had to deal with the last 8 years:

Loss of job, relocation, lower quality of life.

Better, give them a copy of the classified ads and a pink slip.

These entitled snowflakes are terrified as they see the impending end of their reign of terror as overlords of the American economy and as oppressors of the American citizenry.

Their HR department needs to be telling them to update their ridiculous resumes and learn where their local unemployment office is located.

The very existence of these counseling programs is proof positive that those demanding or requiring them are unfit for work at tax payer expense.

More affirmative action hiring unstable political drones... participation ribbons for all.
