Hanna Hickman was senior litigation counsel for the Division of Enforcement at the CFPB in Washington , D.C. She is one of thousands of mostly new employees known as probationary workers laid off this week across the federal government.

Hickman : "We're under attack by billionaires, but I'm not a billionaire, so, you know, for me, the next steps are scary".

A former Federal Student Aid probationary hire at the Department of Education received an unexpected call from a supervisor.

The person, who spoke with ABC News on the condition of anonymity, said it is "devastating" and they don't know where, or when, their next paycheck will come from.

"It was heartbreaking," the former employee said.
