White House staffers are scrambling to find a way out of the Trump admin nobody wants to hire them

LOL, idiots, cozying up to Trump.

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/03/white-house-staffers-scrambling-find-way-trump-admin-nobody-wants-hire/

The atmosphere inside President Donald Trump’s White House is darker than ever — and many staffers are trying to finagle exit plans amid a job market that doesn’t want them.

Sources that spoke to BuzzFeed News claim “many mid- and low-level staffers are anxious to leave and are actively looking for jobs elsewhere,” and viewed the abrupt resignation of White House communications director Hope Hicks as a “tipping point.”

But one former Trump administration official said the job market for ex-White House staffers just isn’t what it used to be.

“I’ve talked to several people in the last week trying to find a way out, but they can’t get out because no one is really hiring people with Trump White House experience,” the source told BuzzFeed. “Not a fun time to say the least.”

Working for Trump has turned out to be career suicide. They'd be better off just leaving that job off their resumes. If a prospective employer asks about the gap, they should just say they were in prison or a mental hospital.

Perhaps they get one or more specifically a NDA for a price. Stormy got one.

I doubt I'll ever know.
