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.

Their contracts aren't going away all at once. Why RIF people when the work is still ongoing?

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.

RIFs happened today, bunch of employees planning to retire within the next three months were apparently hit.

The RIF is another 600 people by August 11th. One more RIF "potentially" in October.

It is Aug 11 … did the RIFs materialize?

Is this really accurate? There is a WARN notice for the June RIF (442 ee's) but I did not find any others for this year.

Some MITRE RIFs have/will happen this week. IDK how many.

MITRE layoffs happened today.

Any idea on numbers or what centers?

Do you have personal knowledge of a RIF on 8/11? I have a family member I am concerned about.

DP - In previous major rounds this year, MITRE rolled out the RIFs over a couple days. Each major org had a different day. HR has to be in every conversation and they only have so much capacity... As I understand it from friends, that's how this round is being conducted as well.

My husband works in HR and says that mid-week is when layoffs typically occur.

From my experience, the CEO normally sends a somber company-wide email later in the week the RIF is implemented informing of the event and noting the number of positions eliminated.
