BREAKING: Trump Fires 500 Obama Staffers
Donald Trump is reportedly firing around 500 of Barack
Obama’s staffers, as he plans to completely fill the White House with his own
team.
The Federalist Papers reported that though it’s likely that
Hillary Clinton would have let most of Obama’s people go so that she could hire
her own staff, Trump’s win closed the door on the possibility of any of Obama’s
staffer sticking around. The fired staffers have gotten so desperate about
their employment situation that Obama has brought in representatives from
Facebook, Instagram and other companies to offer insights into the job market.
According to CBS News, Linkedin
officials are helping Obama’s staff find ways to market their skills.
Georgetown University, which is located
close to the White House, has designed a custom professional development
program they call “Future44,” Obama is the 44th president, to teach
Obama’s political appointees how to build their lives after the White House.
The program is free of charge thanks to an anonymous donor, and participants
register for either four 2-hour evening sessions or one 8-hour “boot camp.”
“We designed this unique curriculum to
help these staffers think through how to market themselves or market their
competencies,” said Kelly Otter, dean of Georgetown’s School of Continuing
Studies.
Many of Obama’s staffers will likely end
up in liberal cities like New York or San Francisco working for companies
that cater to millennials such as Amazon, Snapchat, Google, Vice, etc.
“The transition out of government is a
reality for most appointees, which brings both excitement about prospects for
the next chapter or a long-awaited chance to recharge batteries, and a keen
awareness about a big, impending change,” said White House spokeswoman
Jennifer Friedman.
Ivan Adler, a headhunter at
McCormick Group, explained that Obama’s staffers are about to face a major
change in life that may be hard to get through.
“I tell everybody: You have to understand
there’s likely nothing you will do professionally that will have the same
amount of excitement you’ve just gone through in the White House, unless you
become a racecar driver or an astronaut,” he said.
Too bad, so sad…Don’t let the door hit
you on the way out, Obama staffers!
