Robert Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services, has initiated sweeping layoffs impacting around 20,000 employees as part of a restructuring effort. He later conceded that he had cut essential staff, admitting, 'Personnel that should not have been cut were cut,' and plans to reinstate them. This admission underscores a careless approach to management reminiscent of Google's 'move fast and break things' philosophy. Given Kennedy's controversial ties to the anti-vaccine movement, his decisions raise further concerns amid ongoing public health crises, including a measles outbreak.
Kennedy has already admitted that 'Personnel that should not have been cut were cut,' indicating a hasty decision leading to critical layoffs.
This restructuring reflects a troubling 'move fast and break things' approach that has characterized the current administration's management style.
Kennedy's admission that part of the plan was to reinstate 20 percent of the cuts calls into question the rationale behind such drastic layoffs.
His controversial history, especially regarding vaccine misinformation, complicates the already delicate balancing act of public health and policy.
