Amid cuts to the federal workforce, public sentiment is largely negative towards affected employees. Many feel that federal workers should not receive benefits not available to private sector employees. Through interviews with retirees and fixed-income individuals, they expressed their discontent over tax dollars funding generous salaries for government roles while reflecting on their own lost pensions due to company bankruptcies. The ongoing systematic cuts by the Trump administration raise concerns about job security and benefits in the federal sector, highlighting growing divides between public and private sector experiences.
"Welcome to the real world," several said.
"Go get a job and work till you're dead like the rest of us," another wrote.
"National Steel went bankrupt. US Steel bought them for nothing. Thousands lost what was promised to us," another said.
