Oops!

It turns out that amid the mass firing by President Apartheid Era Emerald Heir Pedo Guy™, they decided to layoff at least ⅙ of the staff at the National Nuclear Safety Administration (NNSA).

These are the folks who are responsible for designing and maintaining America's nuclear arsenal.

They are trying to call them back now.

If I were one of those laid off employees, I'd start negotiating for one f%$# of a big re-signing bones:

The Energy Department is seeking to bring back nuclear energy specialists after abruptly telling hundreds of workers that their jobs were eliminated, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The employees, responsible for designing and maintaining the nation’s cache of nuclear weapons at the National Nuclear Safety Administration, were part of a larger wave of workers dismissed from the Energy Department, drawing alarm from national security experts. Between 300 and 400 NNSA workers were terminated, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The agency’s quick reversal was announced Friday in an all-staff meeting. The NNSA is seeking to recall the workers because they deal with sensitive national security secrets, according to the people, who weren’t authorized to talk about the matter, which is not public.

Those cuts are especially concerning because the positions typically require high-level security clearances and training that can take 18 months or longer, said Jill Hruby, who served as the NNSA administrator during the Biden administration.

"Gee, now you want me back?  I've started a consulting business, here is my rate card."

………

The NNSA is a semi-autonomous arm of the Energy Department responsible for producing and dismantling nuclear weapons, providing the Navy with nuclear reactors for submarines and responding to radiological emergencies, among other duties. 

So these are the guys who get called when the nuclear sh%$ hits the fan, and you just dumped them like they were radioactive.  (Yeah, I know, cheap joke.  I gotta be me.)

At the rate this is going, we're going to be envying 3rd world nations for the competence and honesty of their bureaucracies.
