Traumatized USAID worker who survived DOGE bloodbath describes Horror of watching everyone get Fired
A USAID worker who managed to survive widespread cuts by DOGE has described the horror watching their coworkers being fired.
Amidst huge amounts of layoffs at the agency, one staff member described to NPR how during a virtual staff meeting on Monday people started leaving one by one as their access was cut off.
The staffer said: 'It was like from a horror film', after the administration ordered at least 8,000 staffers and contractors onto permanent leave or furlough.
The Trump administration had originally planned to keep 297 staff but that number has now risen to 611 according to a notice issued late on Thursday night.
On Friday, one worker could be seen crying as crews used duct tape to block out the agency name on a sign outside of its headquarters, as they also tore down large lettering over the entranceway.

The DOGE social media account celebrated the event, sharing images of the building with the letters removed. 'Unburdened by what has been,' the message read.

This is a bridge away too far...... Even in jest. Those people are here because the prior administration rolled out the welcome mat. I don't blame them for trying to make it here, I blame the prior administration. They don't deserve the ire.I say the gov provides every illegal with a free Israeli pager
