I’ve been fired, laid off, lost jobs because of buyouts, and just plain quit bad jobs, but never went into depression! These people are in serious need of psychiatric help, if there is such a thing..........
I was laid off from my first real job by Reagan but all I did was get another job.
The psychiatric "profession" made them what they are molding the teachers that raised them on a steady diet of positive reinforcement for no accomplishments.
The federal employee system created these people.
Making it ridiculously difficult to get rid of the dead wood sends the message to federal workers that they can almost do anything without repercussions.
And now the reality of what they thought would never happen.....they had a couple of opportunities to take a buyout and opted to pass it up......kinda hard to have empathy for that.

Psychiatric help is a joke as is “counseling.”
Same here. I had jobs that were driving me nuts. Eventually, I worked for myself. I would get angry at the boss…but what could I do? Ha Ha.
I’ve been furloughed since April 1 for the second time in four years. I am living the dream.
Similar story here.
I grew up, got in gear sooner or later and carried on.
My kid once called and asked how to give two weeks notice. I told him I had no idea. I’ve lost every job I’d ever had due to poor economies.
I’m knocking on the retirement door so I think I’ll finally have the opportunity to go out on my terms.
After the last job loss, I had an interview with a company. They brought in some guy who tried to psychoanalyze me and see if I was depressed at my job loss.
He asked how I felt when I was let go. I told him I wasn’t happy but I went home, reroofed my garage and went camping. I stayed in the field an extra couple days because I could.
Then I began looking for a job and preparing to sell the house and move.
Life goes on. It’s just a job.
