how many people were rif'd?
Third-hand report says at least several dozen across the company (not just OED).
More like nine dozens.

Me too. I think RAND's current CEO is in way over his head. He has never managed a large organization before. I think the largest place he ever led was CSET... that place employs around 50 people and is the size of a single program in one of RAND's many FFRDCs.
He probably didn't think the world would fall apart when he took the job.
I'm guessing IDA will have to do the same, with the DOT&E drawdown.
Isn't it the CEO's job to actually lead during crisis?
He’s not leading, just building the personal brand for himself and his cronies from the Biden admin.
RAND's board will get rid of him soon. He's made too many misteps and the place is in free fall.

The future is AI. Get with the program or don’t be surprised if things actually change. Good grief.

Their only leadership is to implement RIFs and to react to what happens. " Wars are not won with successful evacuations".
