What happened to Monica after she started working at the FAA?

Monica was hired as an aviation safety assistant at Dallas Fort Worth Airport approximately two and a half months before the interview. She worked in flight safety, filing reports and inspections on the American Airlines fleet. Despite the important nature of her work, Monica was unexpectedly let go during government cuts implemented by the Trump administration. She had mistakenly believed that due to the nature of her job in aviation safety, she and her colleagues would be protected from the cuts. However, this assumption proved incorrect, highlighting the vulnerability of new employees in federal agencies during periods of organizational restructuring.
