John Tilden's lengthy career at the Social Security Administration highlights the increasing instability that federal workers face due to recent executive orders from the Trump administration. As changes converge upon the federal workforce, traditional norms of federal job security seem threatened. The resignation of Acting Commissioner Michelle King further exemplifies the uncertain climate within agencies like Social Security. With many employees fearing job loss and the agency's functioning being upended, the ripples of political maneuvering reveal a shift in the reality of federal employment in Maryland and beyond.
We could make it on just my federal job," Tilden, 56, said, noting that his wife stayed at home to raise their two children. "We were lucky enough to be able to split our roles and still have a life.
Everything was smooth and very positive, and it seemed like this was a great place to work. But now, no one knows anything," said a Baltimore-area Social Security employee who has been with the agency less than a year.
