Trump has turned their lives upside down. You can't go into a federal office without being recorded and monitored. They dare not say anything bad about the current regime. They are threatened everyday with losing benefits or their union representation. They've been accused of ripping off the tax payers I know, I was one of them. I was going to end up dying at work. I have heart issues and it wasn't going well for my stress level. I got out. I really do believe Trump is taking orders from Russia. I feel powerless to this systemic breakdown of our government. 3 more years for these workers seems like an eternity to me. I've worked for 3 agencies. They are all feeling the pain
