Spot on. At my work they call it “right-sizing” or “restructuring.” It’s all the same to those impacted.

I see very little difference Alex. What is going on in the Federal gov't is downsizing. There are always stories that may seem unfair. And in most cases its the most recently hired that go first.

Agree, but this is not how large companies, much less governments, typically operate when they're making moves like this. They give employees a reasonable amount of time to make decisions and are transparent about the options. This process appears designed to frighten and punish people.

Her job has changed, and she might have to move. Although she was competent, her job has changed. Does she think she was protected from this because she was a federal worker? This happens in the free market, too

I am sorry Alex but i don't know where you get that from- I have more than once had a company call in myself and a large number of employees and told "Sorry, downsizing" heres your 2 weeks notice" Good luck.

Excellent summary, totally apolitical. But it actually makes me wonder a bit more that Trump may have been correct to raise DEI concerns.

The end result is: if you are responsible for everyone else in the world to have X before you can have X+1, you will drag the world down into the socialist/communist hellholes that from which these people are escaping. What is the root cause of people coming here illegally? Socialist "paradise" type countries where the populace has tried to vote themselves something for nothing.

Exactly.

This is why we can't have nice things. It's also why projection and irony are tightly correlated.

The real white privilege is the privilege to deport migrants within 24 hours of their arrival, like on Martha's Vineyard, without fear or reprisal. Undocumented, Unvaccinated, Unmasked....OH MY!...

The white plebs are not allowed the same luxury...feed them struggle sessions!
