If even half of NPR's report is true, the way in which it was conducted was grossly cruel and with complete ignorance.

DOGE and it's supporters are quiet literally playing like a child with the levers that decide if you wake up tomorrow.

Not shocked at all. The US Gov right now is crazy, and I wouldn't go back with a crazy ex without a huge overhaul first.

And yup, it's about as disrespectful a dismissal as you'd expect from a Musk "plan". I'm not surprised they are having trouble

>"Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails," the memo added.

Wait, they don't keep personal emails on record? I have to fill that out for every single job I apply to. Pretty sure USAJobs and my State job board required it to.

I guess they either aren't answering or these were more senior personell than I thought.

>Despite having the words "National" and "Security" in its title, it was not getting an exemption for national security

This just gave me a chuckle and I had to share.

Yeah, they're firing all the probation employees and NNSA got caught in the net. Probation employees btw include some recently promoted senior employees.

And probation is just the first status.

This is a plan designed to progressively cull employees by status - there'll be another round after this.

There's an old expression from the first Trump presidency, "the cruelty is the point."
