Do we think that this will have any impact on the pace of the layoffs? Or is it just for show?[/quote]

I think it will slow them, but not entirely stop them.

Trump can read the room. Firing veterans, having to hire people back who do things like transport nuclear material or work on power lines, etc. isn't playing super well. Neither is Elon Musk, for that matter.

I think they approach they are going to take now will be to ferret anyone with performance issues, or anyone who has been formally reprimanded, anyone under investigation for wrongdoing, etc. I heard second hand that one of the IC agencies is enforcing their drug testing policy. It's always been on the books, but is suddenly being enforced. Then it will be formal RIFs or people heavily encourage to retire or resign with VERA/VSIP.[/quote]

It’s not playing well, they’ve made huge mistakes (more than are being acknowledged yet), his Cabinet is frustrated, Congress is getting chewed out by constituents, all while private sector is laying folks off and Elon keeps going out like the drug crazed a$$-hat he is.[/quote]
