According to one laid off federal employee,

[surfered]

This was not a layoff. These employees were all given the same reason in their termination letters: “poor performance “ even though they had good evaluations from their supervisors.

Due to the “poor performance “ reason, they may not be able to collect unemployment and finding another job will be made more difficult.

Once again, this was not surgical or targeted for efficiency as evidenced by mistakenly firing nuclear weapons workers and bird flu scientists and then having to turn around and rehire them. It’s just an across the board reduction in force, disguised as performance based.

Just like their claims of fraud evidence, I’m betting they have no documentation supporting their poor performance claim.

Lawyers for these laid off should have a field day and the resulting settlements will greatly reduce their inflated claims of government savings. Meanwhile, services and protections we have taken for granted will be greatly diminished, if not eliminated. Imagine your worst local Department of Motor Vehicles experience and extrapolate that to the entire federal government.
