"Federal workers are scrambling to figure out if they still have a job after the Trump administration launched a fresh wave of layoffs amid a federal government shutdown, prompting widespread confusion and panic. A hearing is scheduled to take place today after labor unions sued to block the latest firings, setting the stage for another legal battle over Donald Trump's efforts to drastically cut back the federal workforce."
"A table showing the number of federal employees who received reduction in force notices as of 10 October My coworker in the Office of Special Education programs was RIF'ed. She had access to her government email and found out, an employee at the eduction department, who requested to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation, said. The rest of us are in a panic. I think I may have been fired"
Thousands of federal employees face sudden layoffs and widespread uncertainty during a federal government shutdown. The administration issued reduction-in-force notices affecting about 4,200 employees across seven agencies, with 700 CDC firings later reversed. Labor unions filed suit to block the latest firings and a hearing is scheduled. Many Department of Education workers cannot access official email during the shutdown and therefore cannot confirm receipt of RIF notices. Some employees who accessed email found revised separation dates, while others report panic, fear of retaliation, and uncertainty about whether further layoffs will occur.
