Jocelyn Steward, a health insurance specialist with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said she thought it was the Trump administration that had lost the focus on the proper priorities.
Steward, who voted for Trump for president in three straight elections, said she believed job cuts would focus on early retirements and workers who underperformed. But she said she lost her job, helping military veterans and other understand their benefits, even though she was just in training and had met all her job requirements.
“Layoffs aren’t easy on anybody. But there has been zero compassion for anything or anyone in this process,” said Steward, who lives and works in Georgia. ”A lot of these federal workers are doing good work. Please just show a little empathy.”
“Steward said she had consistently voted as a Democrat but felt that, as a Black woman, the party had taken her vote for granted. She voted for Trump, hoping for change, in 2016, 2020 and last year. But she now feels Musk has helped lead the president astray.”
complete bananpants
black. woman. career federal worker. works at “centers for medicare and medicaid services”. works for veterans and others in need.
voted for the (bloody bowel) movement, the party, and the ‘man’ that… hates blacks, hates women, hates veterans, hates medicare, hates medicaid, hates people (who don’t give them lots of money), hates government anything that he cannot personally profit from.
not once. not twice. but three fucking times.
and she’s still drunk on maga (not so) kool-aid. blames musk, not trump.
wants ‘empathy’.
hahahhahhahahahahahah fuck you.
enjoy the hell you helped create for all of us.
Really hard to feel any empathy for someone that votes for a dude that has zero for anyone else. The best I can offer is schadenfreude.
If there’s one thing trump has been honest about, it’s what a huge piece of shit he is.
She got change all right
monkey’s paw curled
I believe that she felt like she was taken for granted. However this was uhh not the way to fix that.
ya think
