[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elon, a couple of days ago, told an event of JP Morgan's 200 largest clients that he intends on cutting 3/4 of the federal workforce.

Plan accordingly.

WTF?! I say this as someone who thinks we could pare down the gov. a little bit, I admit there is a lot of fraud waste and abuse but 75% is insane and will collapse the county. This would be catastrophic.

I wish I could get citizenship in another county right now.[/quote]

Take a deep breath. Despite his talk, he is going to have to follow the process. He can't just fire people without having cause. RIF takes time and requires following the regs.

[b]That's why he's working to hard to make working conditions as miserable as possible -- he wants people to leave of their own accord[/b]. [/quote]

This isn’t exactly confidence inspiring though if you know your life is about to be made very miserable in order to get your paycheck.

I’m in a position exempt from VERA/fork/hiring freeze. I don’t think I’ll get RIF’d. But because we lack much office space, it’s looking like we’ll get moved far way that I could have a 3-4 hour daily commute (50 miles within the DC area can be 1.5-2 hours each way.

So I’m “safe” but my life is going to be misery until I can either get another job or someone puts a stop to this madness. Who knows how long that will take. And I’m one of the “lucky” ones.
