WASHINGTON β National Nuclear Security Administration officials on Friday attempted to notify some employees who had been let go the day before that they are now due to be reinstated β but they struggled to find them because they didn't have their new contact information.
In an email sent to employees at NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, "The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel."
The individuals the letter refers to had been fired on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts. NNSA, which is within the Department of Energy and oversees the nation's nuclear stockpile, cannot reach these employees directly and is now asking recipients of the email, "Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails."
Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can't figure out how to reach them

Makes you wonder how many glowie gooks and spooky slavs are going to try to get nuclear secrets from these dudes

Wonder if that's the intent
But never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity I guess

It was 100% stupidity. Trump and Elon didn't know that they fired 20% of the modern Manhattan Project. The firings spanned from nuclear weapons program managers, Los Alamos scientists, Livermore scientists, the sites where nuclear components are manufactured, the plant where the nukes are all assembled by hand, the special operators who quietly deliver the weapons directly to the nuclear submarines, all across the board.
One report said that it takes one full year to train a floor tech to get certified on the assembly of a single nuclear weapon, and there are multiple weapons. And it takes 1-2 years to complete a Q background check and personally interview their past employers and neighbors and friends. And they can't have history of any drug use. And they have to be willing to move to Amarillo Texas.
Good luck replacing them if they're already too pissed off to come back.

Considering that their skills are in demand, other countries doubtless want their expertise and that they just got a big FU from the country, couldn't blame them if they said "frick you" right back or used their now-apparent bargaining position

With their classified network access and printer connections intact, and their employer taking away their ability to feed their family as a political stunt, makes you wonder.

it's so weird how when you elect wildly incompetent r-slurs that have room temp IQs bad things happen, who could have honestly seen it coming.

Maybe if your guys didn't endorse White genocide, babykilling, sterilizing children, criminal BIPOCs, mass homelessness, and gun control we wouldn't have to vote for r-slurs

I think white genocide is when Netflix makes some capeshit cartoon goyslop a different race. You see white people might frick someone of a different race and that will kill all white people on the planet or something never mind the fact that all races and ethnic groups are ephemeral and in 10000 years nobody will remember what the frick today's racial classifications are
relocation of the entire population of Pales
by force is not a big deal though

So.ehwat true about race, but importing bunch of r-slurs without filtering them doesn't do the country amy favors. That's what annoys the rigthoids the most about the libtards and even their moderates who accept such r-slurred policies..
Now, people of /pol/ and other white supremacists will never be appeased and see higher worth in their own white r-slurs compared to a 130 IQ BIPOC scientist. It's just not fair of them.

The White race has been around for thousands of years and is responsible for pretty much every important advancement and discovery in human history. It will continue to do so. We will lead humanity to the stars. Brownoids will stay r-slurred and eating poop. They will never be White.

You don't think they'll come back for such a kush job?

You've got glowies living in your walls, you live in rural Texas, and the president is trying to frick you over. Kind of a shitty spot if you ask me. I'd say 95% retained in the short term, but actively looking elsewhere and will barely give 2 weeks notice. 50% retention after 2 years leading to having to retrain noobs.

Uh huh. That's why they already left their job a year ago for such higher paying opportunities elsewhere. You little redditors are eating the journo bait and screaming that this is a big deal. When will you learn? It's been overblown.

Pantex is a the final assembly plant for nukes and also serves for their maintenance. It's in Amarillo Texas. It's a skilled technician job, not PhD research. It's a high hazard production facility which requires a Q clearance. You have to get certified to assemble each weapon and it takes a long time.
It's not a steel factory you can turn on and off. It's a bespoke facility that does one thing that nobody else does. This isn't journo bait, this is the reality of logistics and operations and managing a qualified workforce.

Hmm⦠Come back to your GS-13 or whatever job in this highest COL area in the US where we blame you for everything from trains to FEMA or go work in industry or with the Chingchongs, or Russoids for hundreds of thousands and the ability to kill people who offend you
Federal Jobs are only cush for people without credentials, anyone that's a STEM PhD can certainly make more just about anywhere elseβthe only benefit is a good work-life balance to spend time with your family and something of a retirement, but the Wizard of H1-Bs wants to do away with that and has correctly identified that the FLSA is why the Orientals will overtake us any day now, so what's the point?

The rigor of allowing people to directly handle nuclear weapons? Yeah I think there is wisdom there.
Firing them because you are on a crusade to fire as many people as possible regardless of what they actually do?
Less wise.

This is why they should be managed by contractors instead of directly by the executive branch (if the operating agency is "U.S. Department of Energy" then RUN), gives a bit more of a buffer from political r-slurs assuming the contractor knows how to keep cash on hand.

i think it is foolish to look for a larger plan in anything trump is doing, they fired all probationary employees solely because they were the only people they could easily fire
