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NNSA and obtained by NBC News, officials wrote, "The termination letters for some NNSA probationary employees are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel."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

Well, yes. There's loads of better ways to do this but I think he's using the same thing he did with Twitter, clearing out the majority and then hiring back the ones who it turned out he actually needed. Has a different effect when you do it to a government than a website.
Though it creates a lot of drama and seems to get rid of a shitload of dangerhairs and makework roles, so I can see the appeal.

It's a dangerous move to fire the people you used to pay to guard your darkest secrets like that
