Federal employees' exodus

 A friend in a large hedgefund tells me they got more than a dozen resumes from fed ppl this week, which has never happened before.

He thinks it is hilarious because they would never hire them (they r quant and they do not have use for some 45year old guy who cannot code ).

Maybe the NNSA labs can take these people. I do think coding skills will matter much since ChatGPT can write codes. It might be a big opportunity to swell our ranks and become bigger.

I heard about 40k have taken the Musk/Trump buyout.

I am not sure Trump can even do this. Maybe it is some weird trap where you end up staying home for several months and they go...see you never showed up for work. The other thing is that they plan on getting rid of bunch of people who do not take the buyout.

I guess the question is will any of this matter to the labs? One guy I know says that contractors while they are not forced by Trump will still try some reduction in the workforce to show they team players.

Maybe this could be good but I could imagine the better people could be the ones you lose since they have more options.

The Feds eat their own dogfood and go on Federal welfare to support themselves.
