'Dream job' gone former Iowa USDA worker says after Trump administration mass firings

^{Published on 2025-02-20 01:00:49 - ktiv}

Iowans are among the federal workers that President Donald Trump's administration has fired from agencies including those in agriculture and veterans' health.

The article from KTIV discusses the experiences of a former USDA worker, identified only as "Jane," who was part of a mass firing during the Trump administration in 2017. Jane, who had been with the USDA for 15 years, was abruptly dismissed along with hundreds of other employees in what was described as a "reorganization" effort. This action was part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to reduce the federal workforce. Jane recounts the emotional and professional toll this took on her, describing the day of the firing as chaotic and dehumanizing, with employees being escorted out of the building. She expresses frustration over the lack of transparency and the suddenness of the dismissals, which left many, including herself, without jobs or clear reasons for their termination. The article also touches on the legal challenges and the ongoing debate about the legality and ethics of such mass firings, with some former employees seeking reinstatement or compensation.
