Political appointees lose their benefits (including family leave) when the administration ends. Some Trump appointees who lost such leave benefits are now complaining.
Biden official: “We understand that a few Trump appointees, including a handful currently on parental leave, submitted last minute requests to remain on government payroll.
Because these requests were received so close to Inauguration Day… there was no way to implement an exception to the rule in a way that is fair to all outgoing appointees, including many who resigned as expected without making requests for extraordinary benefits.”
Former Trump staffer: “This isn’t an
entitlement that I asked for but I feel like after four years, it was
earned,”

Trump Victims. It made me wonder how many times these appointees sat around discussing all the 'entitlements' Dems want to pass out. Republicans earn their entitlements.
