Resources for Federal Workers /

by Alison Green on January 29, 2025 I am being inundated with letters from federal employees and others affected by the new administration’s changes in the last week — which have included ending investigations and enforcement related to discrimination in the workplace (*see note below); illegally firing 17 inspectors general; laying off employees working on accessibility, equity, and diversity; freezing or cancelling funding for scientific research; halting all federal grants, loans and other financial assistance programs (although a judge temporarily blocked that yesterday); ordering the impoundment of funds already appropriated by Congress; halting all meetings, travel, and communications from many agencies; directing federal workers to report on each other and threatening those who don’t; ending telework; and many other actions intended to dismantle the federal workforce. read more……

Immediate Actions for Nervous Federal Workers

Resources for Federal Workers /

by David Marwick, KempMillJobAssist Last updated 02.26.25 Are you a federal worker?  Are you worried about your job? You may not be able to determine whether your job is safe, but you can take steps now to protect yourself if you leave your job (your choice) or your job leaves you (not your choice), especially on short notice. Harvest key personnel documents Once you leave federal employment, you will lose access to your government computer and to key personnel documents, like performance appraisals, commendations, etc. You should save all such documents to non-government storage. It was suggested that you encrypt your personnel records before sending them to your personal email address to avoid any issues with failing to follow procedures regarding personally identifiable information (PII).. Harvest co-workers’ contact information Once you leave federal employment, your .gov, .mil, or similar email address won’t work anymore. Therefore, you should exchange non-governmental email addresses and phone numbers with any colleagues you would like to be able to contact. Start packing According to media reports, some discharged feds have been given as little as 15 minutes to collect their personal belongings and vacate. It would make sense to inventory what you want to save and maybe start moving some/all of those items to your residence.
