The recent sudden layoffs of thousands of federal employees from the U.S. Forest Service and Department of Interior under the Trump administration and Elon Musk's governance have left many communities reeling. These cuts reportedly include essential jobs like park rangers and biologists, with no prior warning or rationale. The job losses are expected to negatively impact public land and wildlife management in the long run. Employees, like Claire Thompson of the U.S. Forest Service, express disbelief and sorrow over the unfair treatment, emphasizing the dedication and low compensation of those affected.
Official counts of everyone fired across the country are still hazy, as many were still receiving termination emails over the holiday weekend, but early numbers show at least 3,400 people were fired.
It feels like they're punishing the people who least deserve it. We have chosen to stay in careers working for so little money.
