I just moved across the atlantic for a civilian Federal government job that is honestly pretty fucking awesome and fulfilling job and 4 days in I’m worried about whether this dickhead is going to fire every new employee in the entire government. Spent all I had to come to rural Northeast lol

Yeah my jaw dropped at that email. I reported it to our infosec. I knew it was probably legit, but it was so out of whack and weird, with anyone that is never used in govt emails that it absolutely got all the criteria that we get trained relentlessly for spam.

I think that’s one of the worst parts, this messaging that govt employees are just wasters… we do real critical work that keeps the country running, and this bullshit will have not just personal bad effects, but wide wide negative ramifications.

I still can’t quite believe that the situation you’re describing, ie the move, etc and then rescinding, can be legal, but who knows.

Also can’t imagine a worse time to cripple our health infrastructure while ERs are full of respiratory cases and H5N1 keeps balancing on the knife edge of major spillover.
