Summary
With Donald Trump’s impending return to the White House, federal workers in Washington, D.C., face uncertainty as he plans to slash federal employment, relocate thousands of positions out of D.C., and reinstate controversial policies like “Schedule F,” which would reduce job protections for federal employees.
His proposals, supported by allies like Elon Musk, aim to reduce what he calls “deep state” inefficiencies.
This has raised concerns about the economic impact on the D.C. region, where federal employment constitutes a significant portion of the economy.
Some federal employees are considering leaving their jobs or relocating due to fears of job instability and moral conflicts with potential policy shifts.
That’s not the point though.
If there was a “deep state” working to keep Trump from being elected, why would they have given him similar vote totals to 2020 yet given Harris less than Biden?
