HHS RIF

[Anonymous]

Hmmm. We were initially told that they were looking to cut 3600 positions at NIH. Is this 1200 additional to that?

“Key to the reorganization is a plan to centralize the department’s communications, procurement, human resources, information technology and policy planning—efforts currently distributed throughout the health department’s divisions and even their branches.”

“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”

Do we know when the cuts will be shared with staff, today or tomorrow? Also how much notice will they be given or will they be placed on leave right away? Assuming there will be no lawsuit because this is a legal RIF?

I think by COB tomorrow. I believe they are supposed to give 60 days, but many are giving 30 days and will be placed on leave right away. I believe this would be a legal RIF. Watching and waiting as a spouse at one of the agencies listed above that is involved in IT operations. I am terrified as my spouse is the breadwinner.

HHS notified the union of impending RIFs and included notification to effected staff “as early as” tomorrow.

From what I’ve read, it’s 1200 beyond the voluntary separations (DRP, VERA, VSIP).

They will prob draw it out as long as possible to make it more torturous for all involved.

The acting FDA Commissioner just sent a stupid little note cheering the layoffs and asking for “patience, grace, and sanguinity.”

This isn’t helping make America great or healthy again.

Yes I thought it was particularly heartless given that all everyone is talking about is whether they’re going to get laid off.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unveiled plans Thursday to cut his workforce by about 10,000 current full-time employees and save an estimated $1.3 billion annually.

That move means that HHS’ total workforce will fall from 82,000 to 62,000 since the start of the second Trump administration after 10,000 other workers opted to leave government of their own accord, according to an announcement from the secretary.
