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]

Where is the compassion for these workers and their families?
Is this all bc of some crazy idea that they are taking jobs from white Christian men? Or bc they are more educated than white Christian men?
I don’t understand the hate and desire for revenge. And frankly, I don’t want to. Don’t you understand that this mass layoff will affect us all? Unemployed, instability, lost income, etc [/quote]

Hate and revenge? That’s a bit much. Many of the posters here who have criticized this job series aren’t white Christian men.

These positions have been staffed up in the last four years. No, it’s not cool for those people to lose their jobs and I hope they can apply elsewhere. But it not like it’s a foundational part of any agency.[/quote]
