Lots of organizations have employees who at some point hate it. The difference is that at RAND, they choose to stay. |

| I'm surprised MITRE is so open about its RIFs because others do it quietly without announcements. |

MITRE is a lot bigger. Probably so are their RIFs. |

Give Mitre credit for not quietly pushing folks out. |

They cannot hide them due to the size of each RIF. Each of their RIFs has been large enough to trigger the legal requirement to file (public) WARN notices with the Commonwealth of Virginia. Below a certain size, RIFs do not require such filings with the Commonwealth. Anyone can do a web search and find all WARN notice filings from all organizations. |

Constructive discharge is an employment law concept where an employee's resignation is treated as an involuntary termination because the employer created working conditions so intolerable that a reasonable person would have been forced to quit.

The FFRDC I worked for shouldn't have hired me because they should have anticipated that the Federal Government was going to be taken over by a bunch of arsonists. Good luck with that. |
