Summary
Trump reversed his directive to fire thousands of probationary (newly-hired) federal employees after a judge ruled the mass terminations were likely illegal.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) clarified that agencies are not required to comply with previous instructions to fire employees who have held their jobs for a year or less. Instead, agencies have until September 13 to develop their own staffing reduction plans.
Some agencies, like the National Science Foundation (NSF), are now rehiring previously fired employees.
Federal labor unions have sued, arguing the firings violated procedural rules and congressional authority. The administration’s sudden reversal still leaves uncertainty about affected workers’ status.
Imagine the loss in productivity from having so many people fired & quickly re-hired. Not just from those people; but the HR & administrative effort; the re-org of responsibilities among the other employees; and the nonsense time it probably took up in so many “mandatory departmental meetings” discussing what was happening…

Not to mention every ladder-climbing prick who changes positions in those orgs’ mid to upper levels has to make some big splash in their new role, so they can scheme their way to the next one. AKA each of these decision-making dickheads are incentivized to blow shit up with each new role, and with the express intention of not being there when the chickens come to roost. Seen it quite often, firsthand.
Such an idiotic way to run the biggest coordinations of human effort on the planet, but HEY what the fuck do I know? Stolid, predictable leadership with a commitment to improving outcomes for all stakeholders? Wouldn’t that mean shareholders would do a little less well? Those gaudy yachts and mansions don’t buy themselves…

I swear CRPGs need to be made mandatory for corporate leadership. You will respect the long term 0.05 increase to damage every level you motherfuckers.
Joking aside I do think there should be a dedicated gremlin who’s job is to beat corporate dipshits with a stick everytime they try to pull short term fuckery. Rome wasn’t built in a day, it was built in generations and what do ya know it lasted over two thousand fucking years.
not very… what’s the word?
oh yea: efficient.
That sounds super inefficient. Someone should create a taskforce to look into that inefficiency.
No no no.
First you make a meeting to discuss the need for a taskforce.
Then a meeting to discuss the potential budget of the task force.
Then a meeting to select the members of the task force.
And so on until you don’t even need the task force anymore.
Problem solved.
This is partof the point
At my site in the VA we lost a essential employee who we probably won’t get back.
And we were also forced into a hiring freeze at the start of the year so I hope they see this and try to come back, because we won’t be able to hire someone else to replace them.
