Summary
The Trump administration abruptly fired up to 350 National Nuclear Security Administration employees as part of a broader Department of Energy workforce purge led by Elon Musk’s DOGE.
The cuts, which heavily impacted nuclear weapons and waste management staff, sparked backlash from experts and lawmakers.
By Friday, all but 28 firings were rescinded.
Critics warn that such instability threatens national security and nuclear modernization efforts. Some reinstated employees remain uncertain about returning, fearing future disruptions.
DOGE will create a strong sense of disloyalty among fed workers, I won’t be surprise we will see some who holds or held critical info will start to work for other countries and groups in the next few years.
If I was Canada I would poach so many motherfuckers it would break records.
Legal weed!
Healthcare!
A country that values you!
Wonder what percentage negotiated a raise for their return. As a fellow worker, I hope all of them got hefty raises. As a tax payer, this is easily the stupidest use of money possible and Elon should be fired for gross incompetence.
If he wasn’t hired for his competence, he won’t be fired for incompetence
Once again: efficiency != cutting corners. Management 101.
If only we had some sort of security department to deal with threats to the country.
This is a new level of incompetence and inefficiency that has never been seen before in the US government
Nothing but efficiency from that guy.
“Move fast, break things.” Except when it’s the government, you really don’t want to break things.
Maybe they should call Homer Simpson.
