Tech workers got fired so FBI/IRS workers should also get fired? What is the logic here? As far as I'm aware the FBI/IRS have nothing whatsoever to do with the tech job market, let alone individual employees.

As far as public sentiment wrt the firings go, it isn't super surprising that people are more upset about government employees getting fired. Big tech is becoming increasingly associated with things people don't like. Ads, toxic social media, gig economy, annoying CEOs (admittedly not the fault of the workers), AI in many cases, scams, pricing people out of cities they grew up in, etc. I think if you randomly selected a federal government employee and a tech worker, there's a much better chance the government employee is doing something more helpful for the average American.
