🚨 Texas State Employees: Your Job & Retirement Could Be at Risk! 🚨
How many people knew that Texas has its own version of DOGE? 🤔 Most people haven’t heard about the Texas Committee on Delivery of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—but it could have huge consequences for state employees, especially those nearing retirement.
🔹 DOGE was created to "cut waste," but is it just a way to eliminate older, higher-paid employees?
🔹 Gov. Abbott’s directive to remove DEI language from job descriptions is forcing agencies to reassess staff.
🔹 Together, these policies could lead to mass layoffs, disproportionately impacting experienced employees just months or years from retirement.
💰 If you’ve worked for the state for decades, you’ve earned your Pension and benefits. But if layoffs are happening under the guise of efficiency—and those job cuts mostly affect senior employees—that’s not just cost-cutting. That’s age discrimination.
📢 What’s At Stake?
❌ Potential mass layoffs of experienced, higher-paid employees
❌ Loss of pensions & retiree healthcare benefits
❌ Reduced quality of public services as institutional knowledge is gutted
❌ A dangerous precedent where efficiency = eliminating veteran employees
⚠️ What Needs to Happen?
✅ Demand Transparency – The state must disclose who’s being laid off and why.
✅ Legislative Oversight – Lawmakers must stop backdoor age discrimination.
✅ Public Accountability – This issue needs media attention before it’s too late.
✅ Smarter Budget Cuts – Cut outdated tech and redundant contracts, not the people who keep Texas running.
🚨 If we don’t call this out now, we risk allowing a generation of public servants to be discarded right before retirement. That’s not efficiency—that’s unethical.
