When you cut in this administration, the position is eliminated. How do I know? I was a GS in this administration. I do agree there there are plenty of federal workers positions that are bloated and need to be eliminated, however you cut with a scalpel, not a chainsaw. These idiots are cutting key positions, like the nuclear scientists at NNSA, and then frantically trying to hire them back when they found out they are actually needed. There’s going to be time when those SMEs tell them to fuck off and they don’t come back, taking their decades of knowledge with them.
