    I heard reporting on the VA layoffs from NPR this morning.

    In addition to “Mass terminations of probationary workers also swept through the National Nuclear Security Administration, a semi-autonomous agency within the Energy Department that oversees the nation's nuclear weapons.”

    It was noted, presumably, new employees are also educated with the latest info. I imagine the same could be said of many specialists.

    Interesting that it specifically mentions “non-bargaining” fires only.
