Not sure I’m seeing a down side to this. Like most downsizing, you need to trim aomewhat vertically if you are truely downsizing the organization. I think it goes without aaying that the personal finances warrant review.

More self deporting from the Federal Government.
Good riddance.

“Jim Jones”?
Not sure it was EVER a good idea to have Jim Jones in charge of, among other things, the Kool-Aid..
The Timothy Leary/Ken Kesey Kool-Aid edition would ‘ve had LSD in it so you could experience an electric Kool-Aid acid test.

Bwaaaaaahaahaahaahaa… Nice facade!
My money sez they know they’re guilty as hell and are putting up a front, but two short months ago they were just doing what everybody else was doing. Even tho they knew it was wrong, lying, cheating, swindling and goldbricking was the accepted norm. Now reality is slapping them upside the head!
Rots-A-Ruck parasites!

Firing is the wrong word of the HHS probationary employees are “not retained” as a permanent Fed employee. Don’t weep for them, if they can’t learn to code they could be employed building the Border wall or maybe on the Keystone Pipeline …

Holy Shit… You mean the guy who was ultimately responsible that Kool-Aid is safe to drink is named Jim Jones?
And when they resign, it means they knew they were getting fired because he’s probably a big fat crook like most of these senior bureaucrats who are “resigning” these days.

It wasn’t Kool-Aid, it was actually Flavor-Aid.

Next you’re gonna tell me that Alec Baldwin is head of ATF!
