Some laid-off federal workers are running into another unexpected unpleasantry: Relatives cheering their firing.

The country’s bitterly tribal politics are spilling into text chains, social media posts and heated conversations.

The federal job cuts are the work of DOGE , which has been tearing through agencies looking for suspected waste.

A Facebook posting of Rackliffe 's firing led to a storm of comments deriding him and championing the layoffs.

Even some of his friends paired their expressions of consolation with support for cutting jobs they contended were unnecessary government bloat.

“I’d like to see him sifting through spiny naiad in 120 -degree weather looking for parasitic snails.”.
