The pivot started immediately, you idiot.

Thousands left and rehiring hundreds.
When the result is “Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed,” your cuts were not good business. Your understanding of the corporate world must come from what you've seen movies

Those guys were still on pay roll after being let go you dumb fricks(not you Legend). These are all the DRP folks that were on administrative leave.
Basically, we've payed these folks money biweekly to sit around and do NO work.

Yes. Pretty sure they're all MAGA now. Helluva gig.

My question is why wouldn't you, if I'm in a situation like that, unless I have a signed agreement that I'm not allowed to work, I dam sure will find work.

Fire most all of the last minute Biden hires, set new (no DEI) standards for rehire, vet qualifications and negative disqualifications, and rehire the good ones. Not rocket science and can’t be labeled as ‘partisan’.
Government bureaucracy was never meant to be a jobs program , albeit with AI coming that may change.

This is utter nonsense. You are legit retarded if you think these cuts got us to even in the same universe as "cut too deep".
Are you a big government liberal, or what?

Becker, who represents owners with government leases at Arco Real Estate Solutions, said GSA has been in a “triage mode” for months. He said the sudden reversal of the downsizing reflects how Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency had gone too far, too fast.
quote:Bingo!
So this guy is just guessing from rumors he hears because he has no tie to the government other than him being a glorified HOA/landlord.
He's a leasing agent working for landlords/bldg owners who lease space to government agencies. He works a go-between to negotiate and process leases through GSA.

This definitely happens, particularly with sales-force people and manufacturing. Roughly 18 months ago Google announced a 25K layoff only to reorganize/restructure and start filling positions in the new departments.
Again, this may not be the case for federal agencies, but simply because some fraction of people were re-hired doesn't invalidate the potential value of the process.

This is much more fast, efficient, and less costly then combing through every single agency and firing little by little.
It's useless trying to explain this to people who don't understand that the US truly is facing a fiscal emergency. They can't fathom that our "wealthy" consumption driven country has spent itself to the brink of crisis. The next big round of downsizing will be involuntary.

So they hired people based on need, not just because they could?

quote:Many, and I mean MANY GSA employees were still working remote before DOGE took office, 5 damn years after covid. GSA employees were never available to take in-person calls, rarely answered emails, and took entirely too long to negotiate deals & process all the governmental red tape necessary to complete a fully executed lease agreement.
Code for "we were inefficient even with the bloat"
I will not get started on the inefficiency and waste of taxpayer money that's occurred for decades because GSA failed to adequately monitor the actual square footage they leased. There are/were entire blocks of office space completely vacant and unutilized in the Birmingham, Montgomery, and Atlanta areas that the government has paid full rental rates for years. GSA was too damn lazy to even send a rep to do an on-site visit to determine if the sqft was needed, they just kept renewing the leases.

Yep. No problem with this at all.

The good employees will have no problem finding a new job and aren't waiting around. The ones being rehired probably aren't the best.

We have all worked for companies that laid off talent and then had to pivot.
The business impact lasts for years — delayed projects, AOP hits, Employee dissatisfaction due to overwork, the same demand with fewer people.
And far far more US companies have added DEI over bloated HR programs filled with inept individuals who have ruined the companies and seen foreign companies fill the void.

Name me one company, one company, that can take in trillions in revenue, ever increasing revenue, yet continue to lose trillions until they have 38 trillion in debt.......without one attempt to audit the largest departments, nor attempt to cut costs.....
Okay, I just named the largest corporation in the world the US govt, ya need another??????????
