--- Quote from: CarbonHunter on February 14, 2025, 05:29:00 PM ---I saw earlier today that the US Forest Service seams to be the hardest hit with today’s terminations. Honestly we were finally starting to see some actual management of our forests since Clinton stopped logging and I think these across the board actions will set forest management back even further.

Give it some time
I believe Trump will be directing his team to start doing some realignments, restructuring and new hiring

Fat chance, most areas have lost a significant portion of their workforce that had the boots on the ground. To think this will get turned around anytime soon beyond laughable. The terminations will continue through next week, for an agency that was already lean. Oh well what’s a few more people to add to Washington homeless population.

Ramp up the cut then we can look at bringing back some employees.

That's not realistic. That's like having a doctor tell the surgeon to just start pulling out organs and well see how it goes during the post-surgery recovery.
Targeted cuts might have been productive AFTER auditing and understanding the impact. Broad base decimation doesn't actually protect the financial and resource interests of our country. That's why you don't just have some random person come in and fire your IT staff to save money... System dependency and vitality.
Musk did the same process at Twitter. Market cap went from 44b to 9b. It doesn't make operational sense or business sense

No doubt it seems bass ackwards. I would have much rather seen the red tape reduced. Its easy to feel frustrated with the majority of the FS districts production. There are a handful of districts that have been headed in a good direction, I sure hope they can maintain it.

Red tape is gov't jobs.

Some real TDS around here. No wonder WA is CA Lite.
~3% of the employees took the "early retirement".
There's 2.5MM civil Fed employees.

In the mid 90s, Boeing offered the one and only Silver Parachute (only management get the Golden Parachute) to reduce head count. I do not remember the complete specifics, but basically anyone withing five years of retirement to take the option to retire and get a multitude of retirement benefits.
242 people on the "blacK" program I was working at the time. Everyone left started panicking. How are we going to replace all those senior people :dunno:
Well after everything settled down, 16 were replaced. :yike:
16 of the 242 were critical enough to be replaced, and most of those were through upgrades not new hires. No deliveries were impacted by schedule or quality.
I am not saying this is the answer, because each situation is different. I am saying that hardly ever is the damage done by consolidation situations, anywhere near as bad as people make it out to be.

This topic has shifted from the original posters intent. So this wasn’t actually inference to resigned. This was for terminated employees. I will not respond to this thread, cause it has gone off the tracks. But, you are correct not many resigned as they shouldn’t have.

Expect more haircuts without the soft landing.

I met the criteria for a "package" from the power company. The target was 5% head count reduction. From silver handcuffs to silver parachute.
Dunno why so many think this is some weird arrangement. Similar enough happens in the private sector world routinely.
