**I only post the hottest 10 posts in the subreddit.**
Sec. Kennedy on 20k fired HHS staff: “We’ve replaced them with a better group of people…They presided over the biggest decline in health in the history of the world…It was their job to protect us and they did not do it. They failed at their jobs.”
Full quote from House Appropriations Committee hearing:Secretary: “We are now at 72,000 and we’re hiring 12,000 new employees. We will have made up all the employees that we lost and we’ve replaced them with a better group of people who are actually going to address chronic health.”Rep. Hoyer: “Your judgment is that the the other uh 20,000 that were reduced not were not capable, were not motivated?”Secretary: “It’s not my judgment. It’s the record. They presided over the biggest decline in health in the history of the world. We now have the sickest generation in history. We have the sickest population on the face of the earth. That is a failure of government. They weren’t looking at chronic disease. They were focused on other things and they did nothing to prevent the food dyes, the bad food, all of the things that are making us sick. It was their job to protect us and they did not do it. They failed at their jobs and if this was private industry, they would have all been fired. Oh, we did what we had to do to change the culture at these agencies. So, they’re now doing what they can do to pretend that they’re what they were hired to do, which is to protect the health of our country and restore us once again to the healthiest country in the world.”The contempt he has for us is dripping from every word. We dedicated our careers to serving our country and improving the health of this nation. This is beyond insulting.Last I checked, retaliation, performance, and culture change aren’t valid reasons to execute a RIF. And if the agency is hiring back to the same staffing levels with “a better group of people,” positions weren’t abolished, we were replaced.Can legal experts weigh in on how these statements may impact MSPB appeals?
