This is really sad. It’s not like the problems facing IRS IT, CMS, DHS, etc are just going away. There will be need for at least some of these services in the future, but the [b]knowledge needed for these services will be gone and will cost the country more in the long run.[/b][/quote]

Another former Mitre employee here.
Any layoff is "sad" but in the case of Mitre (poor leadership, changes in direction, not taking on true FFRDC work, hiring less-experienced staff not SMEs and especially high overhead) the downsizing is completely predictable, DOGE or no-DOGE.

No, in many cases the knowledge isn't gone because Mitre employees will jump back into for-profit government contracting, *if* they have relevant current skills (like I did when I decided to leave). And not every contractor is experiencing a bloodbath because my very-large employer has had relatively few layoffs, and redirected DOGE-affected staff to new work. There were some layoffs in my current agency work group but they were either known non-producers or their projects were cut.
