u/Additional-Hurry-461

I’m so tired of this administration, HHS, and CMS! I swear it’s so messed up they can do us so dirty and move on like nothing ever happened. Especially after being fired for some bogus reason. Then you apply for your same job and can’t even make a freaking cert!
Then the justice system takes its sweet time while everything and everyone keeps moving forward.
The first judge should have ordered the probationary employees to be rehired after he found it to be illegal. What type of bs are they going to be able to offer us after so many years go by?
I’m just so freaking tired of having to barely scrape by and survive. The job market is shot, I live in the middle of nowhere without many options aside from industrial and fast food. Why do I have to lose everything I own after being illegally fired and there is not any recourse immediately available.

More than a year after being separated from federal service, I received my first full-time job offer. Except, it wasn’t a great feeling.

I have been crying on and off since earlier, not from joy, but feelings of grieving what I lost. 1) The job is in a completely different line of work 2) Im not even making half of what I made in my federal role. It is a step up from my part time salary at the same employer, but I’m still not elated. I had worked so hard to get to where I was in my career to have it all ripped away in an instant. I have been pushed back skill wise and pay more than 15 years in my career.

I’m missing out on so much professional opportunity and feel that I’m stuck, like I have to accept this offered position. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful for being given the opportunity, but I’m still just so sad and feel even more depressed than ever since learning I will be reclassified as full-time.

I’m so tired of waiting for better days.
