She Protected Federal Employees for Decades. Then They Came for Her. | Traci DiMartini

from Who Moved My Career?!? · host Nicole McNamara

Traci DiMartini has seen it all. As a senior HR executive across multiple federal agencies, including a tenure leading human resources at the IRS. She spent decades making sure employees were treated with dignity during the hardest moments of their careers. She was the person in the room. The one who knew how it was supposed to go.Then the rules changed. And she found herself on the other side of the table.Here's the thing about Traci: she also survived a literal explosion in her apartment. And somewhere in the wreckage, she found something a lot of executives spend years chasing: perspective on what actually matters when everything gets stripped away.In this episode, Traci and Nicole get into what federal service really looks like from the inside, what job loss does to identity, and why the people dedicated to serving 330 million Americans deserve a hell of a lot more credit than they get. Traci is funny, direct, and completely unbothered by saying the quiet part out loud.She went through the fire. Her light's still on.
