Hanna Hickman, a now-terminated worker for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, told ABC News the last four days have been a roller coaster.

The article from ABC News discusses the impact of a new executive order by President Joe Biden, which reinstated protections for federal workers that had been previously removed by former President Donald Trump. This order reversed a policy that made it easier to fire federal employees, a move that had led to the termination of several workers, including those who had criticized Trump or were involved in investigations against him. The article highlights the experiences of these fired federal workers, detailing their sudden dismissals, the lack of due process, and the subsequent hardships they faced. It also covers the reactions to Biden's reversal, with some former employees expressing relief and others discussing the broader implications for federal employment stability and the morale of the workforce. The piece includes perspectives from both sides of the political spectrum, with some arguing that the firings were necessary to remove "bad actors," while others see the reinstatement of protections as crucial for maintaining an apolitical civil service.
