As the Trump administration explores significant changes to the federal workforce, federal employees are facing heightened anxiety and fears regarding potential layoffs and restructuring. Reports indicate widespread concerns among the 31,000 federal workers in Prince William County and across the nation, with many feeling demoralized as they navigate the uncertainty. Questions surrounding the legality of mass firings and the overall overhaul of the federal workforce have emerged, with federal employees and their unions seeking clarity and protection from what they describe as political attacks. Various officials, including Rep. Troy A. Carter, are advocating for the rights and job security of federal workers amidst these developments, emphasizing the need for support as many grapple with feelings of shock, fear, and anger. Resources are being prepared by agencies to assist those who may be affected by possible reductions in the workforce.
