First off, too dang melodramatic. Must be an AF thing - mostly kidding, ex-Army.
On a more serious note, knowing what the hell are you talking about more specifically would help. I mean... Trump is a government employee and many here dang near worship him. At least support him to an unhealthy point of non-critical thinking - in my opinion.
Yours kinda sounds like a military contract job, which is often a way for us taxpayers to save money.
Anyway, regardless all the emotion, caring and non-sense like that which does not belong in federal decision-making, I think you are misunderstanding the concept of a, or ‘the’, Free Republic on a very basic level.
It is about Freedom. Not charity. At all. By definition. Ask the Founders. That stuff is supposed to be done at the lowest level feasible to give the most citizens possible the greatest input into the rules governing their daily lives. Meaning private options preferred, then state level or lower govt work if deemed acceptable by the voters at that level.
The central govt is there to fight/avoid wars, settle inter-state disputes and build walls or whatever needed to maintain our sovereignty.
That last thing is not something we were given. Nor something anybody else in the world wants us to have. We took it, rightfully. Previously maintained it, mightily. But today treat it spitefully.
Whether or not a govt job/position itself is valid at the federal level has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with whether you are a good worker or a good person.
The point is that the vast majority of folks employed by the federal govt are doing things the federal govt should NOT be doing.
It is not the fault of the employees, like you, that America is WAY off track in this regard. It is entirely the fault of (most) politicians and of those citizens who vote for them.
The states, counties, cities and markets are the only valid places for much of the life of American the feds have conquered starting mostly with the so-called greatest generation.
That generation WAS/IS the greatest in a bravery and foreign war success sense. But not so in the governing / voting for socialism sense.
They introduced the federal leaven which today is contaminating every aspect of our lives.
Again, I have no idea what others said to you. But Freedom’s perspective on most non-military fed jobs is, by definition, one of distrust. Don’t take it so personally.
It is not a sin against Freedom to hold/perform the job that exists. But it is to vote for most of them to be created or maintained at the fed level.
I work at a local military base. I work now for an air refueling squadron. I used to work for a civil engineering squadron before I was RIF'd into my current position. I love my current position so much more than my previous one. I never want to leave. They treat me so much better and the accolades I get are many. I bust my butt for them. They know it and appreciate it.
However, because of the cronyism in the civilian personnel office on the base I've been kept in a lower paying position. Several years back I was mistreated by two Obama lovers in my office at CE. These two malcontents took advantage of the system to the point where they worked only 1-2 hours a day and smoked outside the rest. No kidding. They were hateful, spiteful, and wanted nothing to do with anyone. Unfortunately I had to share an office with them. When they started treated me unfairly I blew the whistle on them and that shown the light on local management who let them get away with their habits. As such I was never promoted, openly schemed against, and they went so far as to alter job position descriptions for job openings to ensure I couldn't apply for jobs I had the experience to do. So to get RIF'd into my current position was a blessing. But I still can't promote because the civilian personnel office is still pulling strings to ensure I stay where I am "grade wise" as a GS-05.
However, I still do the best job I can and I always will. So to see folks on FR wish me out of a job and on the streets just because I work for the government, it just angers me greatly. Am I being melodramatic? Meh, I'll let the reader decide, but I wanted to call attention to this and see what others thought.
