[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's up on the White House website now https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/01/23/presidential-memorandum-regarding-hiring-freeze

Only military personnel exempt!  [i]"As part of this freeze, no vacant positions existing at noon on January 22, 2017, may be filled and no new positions may be created, except in limited circumstances. This order does not include or apply to military personnel."[/i][/quote]

What does "filled" mean?  Can that mean you accepted a position but didn't start it yet?  Or do you have to have been in place as of last Friday to consider the position filled?[/quote]

That's what we're not sure about. There are so many gray areas. What if you have been selected?  What if you have a formal offer?  What if you've agreed to an EOD?  What does it mean to be appointed (e.g., does it mean having taken the oath?  If so everyone that EOD'd today is Sol BC their positions were technically vacant on the 22nd at noon). This EO is not clear. [/quote]

I took the oath today. Granted I transferred into my current position from another position with the government.  We heard about the freeze today during orientation.  By the way our EOD was actually yesterday, so the freeze does not apply.[/quote]
