The mass firings have begun

[Thinker101]

The federal government began laying off thousands of employees Friday as part of a mass reduction in force tied to the government shutdown.

Layoff notices were sent to about 4,200 employees across eight government agencies, the Office of Management and Budget said in court documents in response to a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, which represents 800,000 workers.

Nearly 1,500 Treasury Department employees were laid off, about 1,300 workers at the IRS, Health and Human Services Department was also among the agencies hit reporting layoffs of up to 1,200 employees.

Dozens of employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention received termination notices Friday, including about 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service officers, known as “disease detectives,” and staff at the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report publication.

The Department of Homeland Security notified 176 workers they’d be laid off.

Considering there is close to 3 million federal employees, this is a good start. Thanks Chuckie Schumer.

Because why? Because you don't think those people are doing anything?

If this is what you guys want, then sure. Let's go with it. This is what you voted for, after all.

Nope, it's because money doesn't grow on trees.

So ******* based.

Queer.

Firing people because money doesn't grow on trees should become the new trend.

Actually I am in favor of losing a large portion of government.
First of all because I like the idea of small government.
Second because we need to get to the point we stop running a deficit. If this helps bring it under control great.

 

[Rambunctious]

Even the left must know the federal government is too damn big... whether they admit it or not...

They let DOGE run wild. They cut medicaid for how many Americans? Medical care for Americans is already awful because even if you have a good job, who knows what your insurance will choose to cover?

Despite doing these things, they still raised the deficit so they could continue giving tax cuts to the elite rich? Poverty in America is insane compared to countries in Europe, but yet America is much wealthier. And you guys just keep voting to make your situation worse.

If you want the idea of smal government, then why aren't you outraged at what Trump is doing by mobilzing the miltiary against democratic states????

I am sure it's not a blanket layoff, most likely they are going through with those who show up to work and do their job very well.

Is this not what every company does? young kids who want to party and not work......cull them

If the government ran like apple, microsoft, etc where you must prove yourself we would be much more efficient and lean and save taxpayer $$

apple and microsoft make money, our government loses money, ponder on that

Well they’re commies so technically they want the government to run everything and everyone is a government employee.

Trump is mobilizing the military against Democratic states to do what?

Let's lay off the 800,000 and see what happens

I'm just wondering why the numbers are so paltry...

There are 2.9 milion federal employess.
Until those numbers reach at least 1 million, it's just window dressing by Trump to appease those who don't understand the scope of just how many people work for the Democrats.

 

[zaangalewa]

I like it.
I like it a lot.

Because Donald Trump cannot incur new government debt without having to justify it very well?

Money doesn't grow on trees? Damn! What to do with apples now?

 

[Mac1958]

Making government as efficient as possible should always be a top priority. Always.

At the same time, slashing jobs without thorough analysis for purely partisan reasons is neanderthal. We've already seen government workers having to be hired back because they were needed. This is about rage and revenge, not responsibility and reason.

America is now the world's caveman. Predatory, reactionary, punitive, shallow, loud, ignorant. But this appears to be who we actually are.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Let's lay off the 800,000 and see what happens

they would be hiring back the ones who are needed.....seen this a few times....
