New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) office is running a digital ad in Washington, D.C.’s Union Station to recruit laid-off federal employees to work for New York State amid the Trump administration’s efforts to slim down the federal government.
The ad, which started running Monday at digital director displays in Union Station, features an image of the Statue of Liberty with the caption: “DOGE said you’re fired? We say you’re hired! New York wants you!”
“Elon Musk and his clueless cadre of career killers know nothing about how government works, who it serves, and the tireless federal employees who keep it running,” Hochul said in a statement. “Here in New York we don’t vilify public servants, we value them and their efforts. So when DOGE says ‘You’re fired,’ New York is ready to say ‘You’re hired’ – and we’re making sure talented, experienced federal workers know about the many opportunities available in our state workforce.”
The ad is the latest effort from Hochul to reach out to federal employees impacted by job cuts spurred by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Hochul appealed to government employees in a recruiting video last week.
“Whatever your skills, we value public service,” Hochul said in the video. “Come join our New York State family.”

Only if you're "vaccinated", no doubt.
Be careful what you ask for, Governor, or you just might get it. You will soon find out first hand, why DOGE considered most of these former employees as expendable.
As long as NY isn’t spending Federal funds (i.e., my money) to pay for the newly-hired workers, it’s a state issue, and they may do whatever they wish.
When they don’t get federal funds she’ll blame DOGE when she fires all these retreads who moved to Albany.
So Doodle gets a bunch of dead-beats to run New York.
Brilliant!
Yup—Hochul is spending money she is about to lose.
Lol.
That’s fine, but are there no New Yorkers who need jobs?
YES! please convince them all to move out of North Virginia to New York!!!
SWEET!!! NY State NEEDS to pay a bunch of useless liberal asswipes!
+ you could fire all your illegals in good paying jobs and hire layed off federal workers
only problem is the illegals are hungry and the layed off federal workers are soft
“what do you mean you expect results?”
The problem is that they didn’t really want to work in the first place. Working from home gave them the perfect excuse.
Does Hochul actually of expect them in the office?
Probably not, because the red light warning about a manager is when they don’t want in person meetings. She and most of her folks are lousy managers who have only survived because of the shutdown and our leftist fed gov (except for the brief and unsuccessful Trump intervention).
NYS and its cities and counties require civil service tests for just about everything. Is she going to have there new hires jump the line of those waiting on job lists for openings? Democrats don’t do that. Do they? Oh wait...
Sounds like something from Greg's Leftovers.
I’m trying to follow the money here.
Don’t see how New York state is growing gubmint on its tax revenue when federal gubmint cuts are eventually going to hit them like a Mack truck.
Well, she might as well. They don’t have anything else to do.
She didn’t say she wanted them for government work. NY needs them for dish washers and maids to replace all the deported illegals. I wish them well in their new careers.
Indeed, with statewide elections this year, every northern Virginian we can get rid of bring us one step closer to victory
She’ll get the really stupid ones willing to be political pawns for her show.
As if New York City and State aren’t screwed up enough already.
