From article:
> The Trump administration rushed to undo mass layoffs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Saturday after it was revealed that many workers were fired in error.
In what had been described as a “massacre,” hundreds of scientists at the CDC were fired on Friday, including 70 Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers, other high-ranking scientists, and the entire Washington office. In total, more than 4,000 government positions across multiple agencies were eliminated in Friday’s layoffs.
Now, as both The New York Times and The Washington Post report, the government is attempting to rescind some of the layoff notices as they were apparently sent in error.

The incompetence is inconceivable.
He probably didn’t know what the CDC was, so he just fired them.
They can’t even create consequences of their own actions correctly…
Trump is a clown driving a clown car full of clowns.
Dr. Evil, using air quotes: „Accidentally.“
If this was any other administration they’d be calling for an impeachment. I don’t understand how so many people can look the other way or not knowing what’s happening or not giving a shit.
The country is being run by some of the dumbest, most self-serving people on the planet.
Who get away with massive corruption and incompetence because they keep their supporters frothing at the mouth at anyone who isn’t a white, Christian, conservative, heterosexual male.
„Inept administration that doesn’t understand anything shocked to discover that its actions have consequences.“
Idiocracy seems tame, in retrospect.
Hah, he learned that at Walter Reed right after he got the Covid shot
They did this during the last few mass layoffs as well. No lessons learned…
Didn’t something like this happen before? The incompetence never stops.
It’s sad when an administration can’t even fire people correctly! Like use your HR department….oh wait….carry on idiots!
Waste, Fraud, and Abuse
RFK jr being the „error ‚.
I can just hear Yakety Sax playing in the background…
The scientists responsible for containing an Ebola outbreak from spreading beyond the country of Congo were fired.
Are we winning yet?
You literally couldn’t make this sh*t up! WTF!!!
How do you “accidentally” fire a bunch of people all at once? You don’t “accidentally” drive your car through a crowd of people, unless you intend to kill them.The lying these people do is astronomical.
This administration is run by adult children who rape actual children.
The incompetence is being used as cover for the fact that they want to gut all these age agencies
Pretty sure this has happened before and they had to frantically hire all their old hires again…
Again? Are they somply causing chaos to distract from something else? The CDC is on the block due to P2025 no matter what.
Even if they were accidentally fired, they should still be looking for other work, IMO. There’s a reason they were „fired“, perhaps they’re slated for removal in a later wave? Their names must be on some purge list.
Just a bunch of the dumbest motherfuckers to ever live in charge of everything. Super cool.
Well with pedophiles running things. Can’t say I expected much different.
Once this is done, we need to make steps to make sure we never have leadership like this again.
Let me guess. Fired a bunch of women and minorities for DEI reasons. Those are probably the best scientists they have. They should ask for a big raise to come back.
