[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To MITRE's credit, so far they have been very generous with their employee separation packages and the termination process has been conducted in a very professional manner. Affected employees are treated with grace and respect and not immediately locked out of the network and escorted out of the building by security guards as if they were undesirables. (I'm not with MITRE HR or Mgt.)[/quote]

I disagree with the professionalism comment. You don't float the idea of 4 RIF's in a year and then do them over multiple days. Do it once, rip off the bandage, and let everyone move one. [/quote]

Their contracts aren't going away all at once. Why RIF people when the work is still ongoing?[/quote]Agreed.  In February/March Elon was running around with his chainsaw, significant percentages of high-level Federal GS/SESers who make actual contracting decisions were taking retirement/getting RIFed, by end of May, Elon's gone, Palantir and Thiel's people have embedded themselves across the Govt and we have a FY26 Budget, and, at this point we still don't have FY26 Appropriations, ...  Result is projecting staffing needs from the madness has been/is "rather difficult".  Given the level of uncertainty, MITRE's mgmt. as early as mid-February, communicated with MITRE staff that they'd built a wide range of scenarios because the environment was so uncertain and would modify/execute as they had to.[/quote]
