How have you been affected by staffing cuts in VA care?

We're a group of NBC News reporters hoping to speak with VA medical center employees who have been affected by staffing cuts and with veterans who have experienced changes to their care quality or access recently.

How have staffing cuts affected wait times for certain care or procedures? Have more VA employees recently left their positions voluntarily or taken jobs elsewhere? Have veterans had a harder time getting certain types of care recently?

Any responses here won't be included in our work on the topic. We're hoping to speak with folks after their initial comments.

Before users can claim to be employees in this sub they must first be verified by this sub's modmail.

Thanks so much for all thoughts and considerations.
