What was the point of posting this?

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?

Yes am aware but this is not just about FDA and CC appear to have been exempted, correct?

Yes exempt. Hence: the CC were asked to escort the RIF’d.

Mentioned up-thread.

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.

Do we have estimates on how many were impacted/RIF’d so far? Is there going to be another round?

From pages 1 and 2 up thread:

“As part of the 10,000 workers to be let go, the Trump administration plans to cut:

3,500 full-time employees from the Food and Drug Administration—or about 19% of the agency’s workforce
2,400 employees from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—or about 18% of its workforce
1,200 employees from the National Institutes of Health—or about 6% of its workforce
300 employees from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—or about 4% of its workforce”

True. I’m at HRSA and so many people were turned away this morning because their PIV cards were disabled. RIF letters went out at 5:15 am.

Yes I’ve seen those quotas but how many Of todays RIFs are there? How will we know when they reach the 10k? Are there more RIFs coming after today?

Don’t know.

I think the original plan for HHS was 20K total:

10K from VERA + Fork. Plus they knew RTO would force many older, full retirement-eligible employees to just retire.

The other 10K from RIFs.

My guess is the # of RIFs needed might be linked to how many VERA/Forked people there were.

VERA/VSIP deadline was 3/31 so they should have those numbers now.

NY Times has rolling totals by agency. Per them, HHS goal of 16% RIF is met as of today.

My dentist worked at the Indian health service. There is great need for dentists and medical workers at the Indian health service.

Heard the FDA attorneys were hit hard. Are any of them left?

I think you misheard.

Nope. Attorneys got slammed, especially in policy.

It is going to be a massive disaster for all of the biotech sector.
