I'm not sure how many are being laid off in the DMV but depending on how many, how could it not lead to a barrage of negative impacts? This region is heavily drenched with federal employees. Aside from multiple people slipping into anxiety, misery and depression, it can clearly lead to a substantial degree of foreclosures. With a very high costs are so many are stretched to the limit. Knocking their livelihood out from under them with no notice is not only demonic and cruel, but t creates chaos. 

Are they not getting a severance package .. I seem to think i read that .. And layoffs happen in the private sector all the time.. I mean look at Intel.. my daughter works or did work there for 22 years .. and then poof they layoff 15k employees .. how is this any different.. If these folks have skills and work ethic they will end up employeed start a business or some other Venture. My Daughter got head hunted and never missed a day.. She actually got a HUGE promotion on the  Intel spin off division that left Intel.. But Yes if you come to work one day and your pay stops that day with no severance and have to go on unemployment ( if they are allowed unemployment) and food stamps and whatever other social programs while they get new jobs ? 

 Not sure where you heard any notion of severance package. Many are not even sure if they will get paid anything. The IRS employees who signed up were told they can't leave until May.  I don't know all the dynamics with your daughter so I can't compare. No one knows what will happen in the DC region, but applying logic and observing past trends, if a significant number lose their jobs with zero notice, it most likely will trigger foreclosures. DC is very expensive and so many of these workers live check to check even though they make decent money. That is reality. I hope it doesn't but clearly it could be the case. I believe there will be major market decline due to other things, but I hope not. 

from what I have read and of course Media bias is slanted one way or the other.. Those that are in their probationary period  IE not yet fully vested if they are not signed on then they are terminated just like anyone else would be if working in the private sector.  Then those with tenure but choose not to go to the office can take the buyout which includes the severance. 
I mean companies layoff folks all the time.. why is this any different especially with how un efficient government is.. I mean I work with these folks I understand the difference between private sector and govmit employees.. My bank a few years back was bought by a bigger bank and same thing happened to alot of the employees .. One day without even knowing the bank was for sale.. the next day they are notified the bank sold and the new bank is bringing in their own people.  Its just the risk people take when they work for any other company other than themselves.. WE see it on BP all the time..  Folks talking about how much they hate their job I am sure their employers would love to know their real feelings. Will see how it all shakes out.  I also wonder how this is going to affect Section 8  you know those with 100% vouchers that basically never work or will never work.. I can see govmit making a condition that tvhey must try to get employment at least. 

 There is no severance of any kind period. I have an idea which news slant you are listening to in order to hear something like that LOL.  In firing people on probation, it tends to play out much different under normal circumstances.  I have never heard of mass firings done in the most chaotic and incompetent way. People are being fired for sport as though it's some pleasurable reality show game. People are devastated with some on the verge of suicide. Thousands of people are having their lives all out destroyed, and a cult is cheering their leaders as though it's some Olympic game in the Roman Coliseum.  People have relocated from across the nation for some of these positions and have nowhere to go or nothing to do. People have mortgages, kids in college, caring for elderly parents or kids with special needs/ Many of them now have no idea what life is brining for them in the near future. This is funny and cool to one side until members of that side get impacted. This is what's happening now. For them, it's not some nonchalant that's how it goes element. Most only assumed it applied to a specific demographic of society so it would be seen as more humorous or acceptable. Al in all, its relative. Either you feel its ok and no big deal or you recognize the pure degrees of despicable disgust.  There has already been one suicide of a grade school little girl due to some of this demonic madness. I don't know what else to say. Overall, it's a very great chance of there being mass foreclosures and like I said, I would not be surprised of the market having devastating down turns. I hope not. 

"On Wednesday, a federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump Administration by restoring the president’s offer of an 8-month buyout for all federal employees if they agree to resign."

"Due to the delays in the program’s expiration date as a result of the legal challenges, over 75,000 federal workers were able to accept the offer."

 i know this. Is there a point you are making? 

Hmmm, you said "there is no severance of any kind period" and that just isn't true.

You should be happy anybody is even reading tribble like that. ;-) (Tribbles are a fictional alien species in the Star Trek universe)

 If you all are going to repeat or believe whatever hannity tells you, you should understand what you are repeating. They were given a choice; either sign up for fork in the road in a few days which is a resignation, or risk getting fired. The only thing they get is their pay for a few months while they are not working. They get paid until September (if you believe that). If that is your description of a severance package its really nothing more I can say. For the IRS people who signed it, they were told they can't leave until May so their so-called severance packages are very limited. Also, the government is not even funded so most think they won't get paid for that time anyway. The king will just say "my bad, we have no more money". Again, the one side thinks it's funny until it hits them. Those right-wing legislators are catching hell in their districts, so we shall see. If WMAL told you there is something else which you deem a severance, they are lying. You are talking to someone here on te ground who is directly looking at what is going on and knows the people impacted.

A 4 star is good. Also, if you honestly believe every last one of your reviews will be a 5 you may want to look at another business.
