Never Thought My Federal Career Would End Like This
Well, I'm done. After 3 months of anxiety, anger, depression, fear, sadness, and loathing, I signed up for D R P. I tried to hold the line. I really did. I went back and forth with my decision every second of every minute of every hour of every week. I held on after the first "Fork in the Road" offer. I held on after we were called "worthless" and "parasites." I held on after being forced to write the degrading "What did you do this week?" bullets. I held on when they said we didn't deserve our jobs. I held on when we were condescended to with the phrase "Leave your low-productivity job in the public sector for a high-productivity job in the private sector." I held on through the trauma they said they wanted to--and subsequently proceeded to--inflict on us. I held on right up until the re-organization memo for my agency came out. We don't matter to them. I've had too many sleepless nights to count and too many days of working on autopilot but not really being...there. For my mental and physical health, I had to do it. I feel so much guilt leaving my coworkers behind to pick up the pieces. I feel anger that I was on a path to retirement that got cut short. I've only been in 13 years and I'm not old enough for any of the early retirement options. I just know I can't try to get to that retirement under these conditions...under this administration. It's no longer worth it to try. It's heartbreaking. I feel sadness in leaving a career that I love; absolutely love. I think I've moved through all of the stages of grief and have landed at acceptance. I have no other choice, I guess. I wish all of you the best. We've all dedicated our lives to public service and I feel sorry for all of us that this was our reward. I wish all of you the success, joy, and happiness that you deserve.
