[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Key points from the article:

“The worker cuts are in addition to roughly 10,000 employees who opted to leave the department since President Trump took office, through voluntary separation offers, according to the documents.”

“Key to the reorganization is a plan to centralize the department’s communications, procurement, human resources, information technology and policy planning—efforts currently distributed throughout the health department’s divisions and even their branches.”

“As part of the 10,000 workers to be let go, the Trump administration plans to cut:

3,500 full-time employees from the Food and Drug Administration—or about 19% of the agency’s workforce
2,400 employees from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—or about 18% of its workforce 
1,200 employees from the National Institutes of Health—or about 6% of its workforce 
300 employees from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—or about 4% of its workforce”[/quote]

Do we know when the cuts will be shared with staff, today or tomorrow? Also how much notice will they be given or will they be placed on leave right away? Assuming there will be no lawsuit because this is a legal RIF?[/quote]

I think by COB tomorrow. I believe they are supposed to give 60 days, but many are giving 30 days and will be placed on leave right away. I believe this would be a legal RIF. Watching and waiting as a spouse at one of the agencies listed above that is involved in IT operations. I am terrified as my spouse is the breadwinner.[/quote]

HHS notified the union of impending RIFs and included notification to effected staff “as early as” tomorrow.[/quote]
