About 180 fired CDC employees received emails asking them to come back to work

I worked at a company of roughly 2,000 people and they could never get layoffs right.

First time it was poor performers. Except they didn’t understand who the poor performers were and axed some good people, who they hired back after paying them a generous severance.

The second time was “rightsizing” when staring down the barrel of bankruptcy. They canned 45% of the company in one day. Within a month probably 20% of those people were back and they had to hire a bunch of people for those who wouldn’t come back.

The third time was a repeat of the first one.

The fourth time they spent millions and brought in an entire floor of “the Bobs” from one of the big four firms who took about 6 months to figure out they needed to do away with a small division of about 25 people and the rest of the company needed to remain intact.

If a company of 2,000 people located on one campus was that bad at layoffs I can only imagine how bad the government would be.

A company making software vs let’s say the FAA or ATC. Let’s hope the process Elon goes through is better than his Twitter/CDC model.

Thats the problem. This isn't the govt. This isn't an HR / Corp re aligment firm. This is a bunch of dipshit computer nerds with seemingly no real world exp who look at some data extracts and make recomendations that are seeming to be followed. By not-Elon, by not-trump, but by some lady who was notified she was the head of DOGE while on vacation.
 
You aren’t a a serious person
Explain the stress? Everyone who is other than self-employed but doesn't have a guaranteed contract or a no layoff clause is susceptible to firing. Should they all be treated for a stress condition?

Starbucks recently cut about 1000 positions are you going to carry a sign in front of a Starbucks location to protest or boycott their coffee?

This out of the blue grieving for federal employees by the Dim Dems is laughable.

You do understand that because you rationalize to yourself that people losing their jobs isn’t stressful doesn’t mean it isn’t stressful? These are full time jobs we are talking about not some job at Starbucks as you reference above.

Doesn’t appear much organization has been involved with DOGE. But I would also guess not everyone is being brought back on. Hopefully this has helped weed out some of the crap employees. I’m sure it has cost some good ones as well.

Collateral damage, amirite?
 
If the y could find jobs in the private sector, they probably wouldn't be working a government job. Should feel lucky
That’s a really stupid take. In my experience, many of them are incredibly impressive and have chosen to get paid less to serve their country.

There are going to be a lot of people really upset that these “lazy” federal workers moving into the private sector will be taking their jobs easily.

I suspect there's no way for this to be done in a fashion that you could agree with, so do it quick and do it big,.. Zero phucks given.

Thats becuase you are wrong again. There is absolutely a number of ways this could be done I'd agree with. But randomly firing folks ad then discovering what they do after the fact is 100% the wrong way.

You give no ****s, because you are part of the problem.

Well do you expect Big Balls and company to understand any of that? Dudes can't even talk to a woman without her running away scared.
