Fired Federal Worker Could Get a Private Sector Job Tomorrow, but She's a Patriot

This federal worker is confident that she could get a job in the private sector tomorrow, which is great. Still, she's tearful, because she was a patriot who loved her country, as we're sure all her colleagues were. Well, that is sad news, but the country has decided your services aren't needed right now. As a patriot, certainly she's happy to see some of the fat cut out of the bloated federal bureaucracy.

…. According to her, she'd make a whole lot more money, seeing as these government jobs "don't pay us." They're practically volunteers because of their patriotism. She could enlist in the military and keep her country safe that way

Her tragedy and tale of self-sacrifice was not universally met with sympathy.
