Agree — noting the exclusion of lifelong Civil Servants, many of us are also U.S. military veterans — forced from our long planned & toiled retirement goals; into a world of uncertainty and at best with severely reduced benefits. We are all betrayed, not just by USAID, but by our nation.
We've all be betrayed by this Administration. When I was at AID, I enjoyed my associations with active military staff. Very professional and efficient. Thank you.
Thanks for the levity! We do need this, because this is what all us USAID folks think about everyday. But I didn’t see Civil Servants (like me with 38 years of service) amongst the employment choices. Alas, CS invisible again. And those of us well ripened and very much of retirement age don’t really have much choice other than retirement, even if it’s DSR.
Bill, I passed along your concern to the author, and the post is updated to include the civil service. I apologize that I didn't catch it before. I was an ISC and very surprised at the internal caste system within USAID. Not very becoming of the Agency.
