      Yes, I don’t think you can be in limbo for more than the statutory 2-weeks notice period or some such.

      Still, there’s going to be quite some extra cost associated with the heads-over-heels way in which contracts were cancelled.

      My wife had a coworker Rif’d and is in the same situation. It is not fake, this is really happening to real people.

        I know several people in this category: still employed by the government and subject to government ethics rules, unhireable by any company that still needs to follow that government agency’s rules about conflicts of interest.

          Hilarious to imagine corporations respecting the sanctity of “conflict of interest” in hiring govt employees, especially in 2025. Think of the optics!
