A hiring freeze? Like normal civilian companies occasionally do? Horrors! I've been at at least one company that had a freeze and was laying people off. I've had at least two companies with which I was well into the hiring process stop the process due to a newly imposed freeze. Welcome to the normal civilian world, helpisontheway's Prog-vets if you actually exist and are complaining about Trump's temporary hiring freeze. IRL, I think even lifers understand the civilian jobs market better than helpisontheway's post claims.
IRL, Trump's freeze will be temporary, and it looks like Trump's Administration will be making plenty of room for people with skills and a good work ethic, in the pretty near future.
