Mass Layoffs at the Veterans Administration to Begin in June

[Guno צְבִי]

The Veterans Administration (VA) is planning for mass layoffs that will start in June, according to Reuters, which reviewed an internal government memo.

The March 6 memo instructs the VA’s human resources department to review agency operations by June. Once the review is complete, “VA will initiate Department-wide RIF actions,” referring to a reduction in force.

At least 25 percent of the VA’s 470,000 employees are veterans, so approximately 20,000 veterans could lose their federal employment if the agency cuts more than 80,000 jobs as planned. Last month the VA laid off 2,400 federal employees.

A few votes here, and a few votes there, and Republicans lose the midterm badly. That is just a fact.

Good. Except that it should be shut down. But at least it’s a step forward.

Why is it a good thing? Would it be good for the midterms?

Why is it a good thing?

The VA is chock full of lazy, incompetent, docs who are there because they can’t make a living in the real world. The VA is a waste of taxpayer money.

Would it be good for the midterms?

Odd question. I don’t see any relevance.

Very relevant as more and more people are regretting voting for Trump.

The VA is worthless.

Very relevant as more and more people are regretting voting for Trump.

If he shuts down the VA maybe they won’t. That would be a great accomplishment.

A lot of employees of the VA are veterans, and a lot of them voted for Trump.

Hope they knew what they were voting for.
