The government has requested Judge William Alsup to stay his order mandating the reinstatement of six agencies' terminated employees. Declarative support from the agencies points to major hardship caused by reinstating only 16 employees, with claims of required onboarding processes and administrative challenges. Criticism is directed at the ineffectiveness of the Department of Defense under Pete Hegseth, suggesting that the department's inability to manage simple administrative tasks could hinder its ability to address larger global threats like China.
The Court's order, requiring the Department to reinstate all probationary employees terminated on or about February 13 and 14, 2025, will impose substantial burdens on the Department, cause significant confusion, and potentially subject terminated employees to extreme whiplash.
Among other things, all reinstated employees will require onboarding, including certain training, filling out human resources paperwork, obtaining new security badges, and re-enrolling in benefits programs.
A declaration from Timothy Dill, confessing to a truly shocking level of ineptitude at Pete Hegseth's DOD, states that reinstating the 16 fired employees could cause great hardship.
It truly seems absurd that a department employing 950,000 people is concerned about the administrative burden of creating 16 new badges.
