Part 3/9:
In an exclusive report by Senior Correspondent Joanna Geiger, two federal employees from New Jersey who were among those recently terminated shared their distressing experiences. Their dismissals were part of a broader wave that saw approximately 200,000 federal workers lose their jobs in just the first month of Trump’s presidency, driven by policies implemented under the Department of Government Efficiency.
Speaking under anonymity, one former employee expressed devastation, emphasizing the emotional and career impacts of her firing as she sought to serve the American public. Her termination notice claimed she was “unfit for continued employment,” a characterization that contradicted her supervisor’s positive assessment of her performance.
