I saw the same information, but am not seeing it anywhere else.

The Federal Register does not show all the EOs we know he signed, perhaps it's only updated on weekdays though?The one that's there is about civil service, but from my (non-legal background) scan, I don't see that it specifies a freeze. https://www.federalregister.gov/

Our Department told all the agencies to stop moving forward with hiring as of last Thursday; I guess we'll find out what they say this morning.

I thought the oath you take on the 1st day is what makes you official, no? Presumably paperwork gets submitted to HR a long time in advance, HR does whatever it does/coordinates with whoever gets you a clearance, then the clearance comes through and you get your final offer and start date, then you start and take the oath. I thought the process could stop anywhere for a freeze except after you've taken the oath bc then you're in.


No one knows yet


I heard you're effed unless you have an eod but pp is right, all rumors at this point

Would the hiring freeze extend to positions such as fellows or interns? (Paid ones)

Haven't seen the actual EOs - but keeping track of the reporting of what they're signing.

The only thing I have heard so far is a regulatory freeze. Nothing on hiring yet.

They are announcing them though. I haven't heard about a freeze yet. I expect to hear about it this week though.
