Seriously? Are we still discussing whether lab employees are federal employees in 2025? If the lab wants to fire you tomorrow for any reason or no reason at all, they have had that power since the 1950s at least.

So what. We’ve been, “at will” for 15 or 20 years. Two weeks. Two weeks notice is what we get. Anyone who believes otherwise is naive.

You purposely misunderstand the question. Will federal contractor employees face the same criteria or not?

Ok.here's your answer: No. No impact whatsoever to lab employees. We have always been gig workers like Uber drivers. Here today, gone tomorrow.
