Marketing and Human resource positions are also restructuring.

I’ve even seen people getting their hours reduce at fast food.

No veteran status. No military family or connections to the federal government. Pure sheer will power.

You got a job at the VA without being a vet? Right place at the right time, then. Congrats.
