It means a bunch of civil servants just lost job protections.

But, these have been essentially meaningless (see USAID, Education, HSS). Or does this mean even severance etc. are gone?

They missed a whole office with several relevant positions at my agency. But they also got away with a large RIF in that same office, that was just as haphazard if not more egregious, so I can't really imagine how any of this matters at this point.

No more impartial evaluations of budget proposals.

Check your SF-50

I don’t know my position description #. My agency has some attorneys listed, and I don’t know if I am one.

It's so strange! Some agencies list all attorneys, others list just supervisory attorneys, but many agencies skipped over their attorneys.

This is, unsurprisingly, incredibly sloppy. They missed a whole level of people at my agency (not saying which) that are above the levels listed but that aren’t SES and are still competitive service.

Agreed. Haphazard.

No. Career SES are already at-will.

Our agency cut a ton of positions - my whole series is gone from the final list, thank goodness. I hope everyone else fares well:
