Hanna Hickman, a now-terminated worker for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told ABC News the last four days have been a roller coaster.
"It's scary," said Hickman, who was fired last Tuesday. "I had a real moment -- I was at CVS the other day and ... it kind of came on me all at once that I might not have health insurance in a few weeks, and that really hits you. I think it underscores the fact that we're just regular, middle-class people, just like the people we're trying to serve."
Hickman was senior litigation counsel for the Division of Enforcement at the CFPB in Washington, D.C. She is one of thousands of mostly new employees known as probationary workers laid off this week across the federal government. Those recent hires had joined the federal workforce within the last one to two years, depending on the agency, and have fewer protections.
Hickman was a probationary hire who had been at the CFPB just under two years until Tuesday around 9 p.m., when she saw a termination notice pop up on her phone.
"It was shocking, frankly -- not just to us but to our direct managers, who had not been told this would happen and received notice of the terminations at the same time we did because they were CC'd," Hickman told ABC News.

She’s right. So what?
Class warfare.
Treasury looters say what?
“’We’re under attack by billionaires’: Fired federal workers speak out on terminations”
Should have TAKEN THE DEAL for 8 months of full pay, for doing nothing, or even working for a new employer.
Oh, most didn’t, they listened to their union. Hopefully they do learn a lesson about labor unions, which is that they are ALWAYS EVIL.
By sending trillions less to DC, there will be more billionaires and millionaires in the rest of the country. Can’t have that.
>Hickman was senior litigation counsel
Yes, just like one of us LOL
These people have no clue.
What happens to my health insurance?
Where will my next paycheck come from?
Yeah, welcome to the real world, Karen.
But enough about Barak.
She was hired on a probationary basis less than 2 years ago and she’s complaining about possibly not having health insurance? Entitled much?
Can we stop calling them “workers”…..they don’t really work much
Cobra too.
Squeal away. We don’t expect you to support the streamlining of the government teat.

Oh goodness.. you Mena you might have to go out and buy Obama are coverage like everyone else? Gosh, how scary! If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor (unless they say you cant)
You’re under attack by The People.
Hopefully, she can go on COBRA. That’s tons better than the exchanges.
Let’s see how the government works:
1. Collect tax money
2. Hire more government employees
3. Collect more tax money
4. Spend it all
5. Go back to step 2.

She’ll be just fine.
