| Yep, it’s started big time. I just wonder if it will keep going through the week. |
Heard the FDA attorneys were hit hard. Are any of them left? |
What was the point of posting this? |
| Yes husband has been rifD. |
1 out of 20 FDA employees are CC. The CC is officers only (no noncoms). Discount the FDA gs7s and 9s, and FDA’s ratio of CCs is far higher. Were you aware? |
Esp. among CDER/CBER. |
Yes am aware but this is not just about FDA and CC appear to have been exempted, correct? |
I think you misheard. |
Yes exempt. Hence: the CC were asked to escort the RIF’d. Mentioned up-thread. |

https://wapo.st/3EaLQZW Just reading this is enough to make me sick. I am just so sad and scared for our nation's health. I'm a laid off contractor from another agency. Massive layoffs, purge of leadership underway at U.S. health agencies Senior leaders at the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Food and Drug Administration have been put on administrative leave and some were offered reassignment to remote locations at the Indian Health Service. Meanwhile, federal employees have begun receiving layoff notices as part of a massive “reduction in force” at the Department of Health and Human Services, led by newly confirmed leader Robert F. Kennedy Jr. |
| Does anyone know when the next round of RIFs will happen? |
| It’s a bloodbath. |
Do we have estimates on how many were impacted/RIF’d so far? Is there going to be another round? |
