Lastest word is whitehouse rejected another cut proposal from CISA. They're now demanding ~65% cuts to the agency employees. This will reduce the agency from ~3400 to ~1200 employees.

All current Tenative Job Offers that were frozen are rumored killed, they just aren't bothering to tell the employees - so warning to anyone who thinks they have something.

Current employees are being told "You're a deadman walking, sign 2nd round voluntary resignation program and you'll get a couple extra months past your severance.

Many/most teams are resigning in full. Decades of institutional knowledge will be lost, there's no way to recover this stuff, peoples one drives will auto-archive, but no one in the future will know where to look or what to recover.

Leadership core is for sure being gutted at a ratio of 80%.

I don't see any way for the survivors to function, they're losing so much institutional knowledge and relationships from peers, mentors and management. Their ability to respond to foreign nation state threats against our infrastructure will be compromised.

For none feds this will cut, Cyber security, Chemical (toxic and explosives) security, Infrastructure security. Regional resources for state and local governments/ private sector owner operators. National risk management center etc.

~Good luck
