Traumatized USAID worker who survived DOGE bloodbath describes Horror of watching everyone get Fired​


A USAID worker who managed to survive widespread cuts by DOGE has described the horror watching their coworkers being fired.

Amidst huge amounts of layoffs at the agency, one staff member described to NPR how during a virtual staff meeting on Monday people started leaving one by one as their access was cut off.

The staffer said: 'It was like from a horror film', after the administration ordered at least 8,000 staffers and contractors onto permanent leave or furlough.

The Trump administration had originally planned to keep 297 staff but that number has now risen to 611 according to a notice issued late on Thursday night.

On Friday, one worker could be seen crying as crews used duct tape to block out the agency name on a sign outside of its headquarters, as they also tore down large lettering over the entranceway.

The DOGE social media account celebrated the event, sharing images of the building with the letters removed. 'Unburdened by what has been,' the message read.

I say the gov provides every illegal with a free Israeli pager
This is a bridge away too far...... Even in jest. Those people are here because the prior administration rolled out the welcome mat. I don't blame them for trying to make it here, I blame the prior administration. They don't deserve the ire.

Can someone tell me, why is lEon doing this? What in his past would lead us to believe he has altruistic intentions? All of his actions are self-serving, just like his "boss's". lEon expects something for the hundreds of millions he pumped into Trump's campaign.

Maybe he just loves his adopted country?

To drive crazy people to create new names for him so they will feel cute on the internet.

They destroyed the education system and now they are freaking out something is being done. Bunch of losers
Which department of education policy is responsible thirded-graders in Tennessee being poorly educated by Tennessee schools, which are controlled by local Tennessee school boards?

Be specific, cite your sources.

Or he’s triggering idiots who put party first?
Being labeled an idiot by an idiot doesn't matter much. I'm happy to see what Elon's doing to lots of these agencies. Because unlike the idiot in question, I've actually worked in and around most of what's impacted, and it needed this type of chemo.
