The OPM memo calls it a RIF. [/quote]

Holy shit, the OPM memo is a bloodbath.  Wow.  The EO stopped short of this, this is absolutely nuts.

I wonder how many acting heads are going to quit rather than send out those memos. 
I honestly can’t see the person acting at my agency sending that out - she’s just the last one standing and as far as I can tell totally non-political.[/quote]

That memo is just...another level. I will be very interested to see if our acting sends it out. It's one thing to say, hey, we've decided to eliminate all these programs. It's something totally different to say they resulted in "shameful discrimination" and then threaten the workforce if they don't report "coded language." But nothing to see here! It's all good and totally normal governing.[/quote]

+1. These people didn't create the DEI offices and in most cases didn't create the policies people are complaining about. They were assigned to do a job. It's fine to decide that job is unwanted now, but making the employees into villains should worry everybody. Every fed will at some point work on something the other side doesn't like.[/quote]

They weren't assigned to these offices, they applied to work in them, presumably because they wanted to advance that mission.  The mission has been discredited, the consequences follow.  [/quote]

Oh come on. Not only were existing jobs transferred / repurposed, but people apply to newly created openings for all the same reasons that anybody applies to any job. Do you think the people who work in procurement are really passionate about buying pencils? Should they be vilified, as individuals, if they work on the purchase of tanks and then a later administration doesn't want tanks? [/quote]

I’m not the PP but I have compassion for many of the people who may lose their jobs. That’s a terrible situation. However, anyone who applied for these positions should have noted that this was not a long term strategy. Trump or no Trump, it would have faded out. The private sector has slowly been cutting back on these positions and some companies have eliminated them altogether. This isn’t EEO.

And even if the individuals put out some awful webinars, they had to come up with something to meet their metrics. It’s understandable. Unfortunately, it’s also not necessarily value added.[/quote]
