Thirty employees—including 11 lab heads—at the institute should “immediately return to work,” according to an email the institute’s Office of Human Resources sent to top administration at the institute Wednesday evening.
Are these the same coders who are going to rebuild the social security codebase?
No, those are way less qualified.
immediately return to work or… get double fired?
The email says that the employees’ reduction-in-force notices “are not cancelled, however, NIH leadership is actively working on a long-term solution.” The Office of Human Resources “leadership and staff have no additional information to provide and asks that questions be directed to your leadership,” the email continues.
What the fuck does this even mean? You’re still fired, but not today, so get back to work because someone might unfire you for real later?
Yeah right
