Who will be able to weather the storm?

I haven’t seen the same volume of work from most federal agencies since the federal hiring freeze occurred. Anyone else seeing less work? Seems like we’ll all see less work with these continuing freezes and resignations from federal employees. It will trickle all the way down from the federal workforce to the contractor workforce. The federal government and contractor workforce won’t be growing in size the next four years. It will be decreasing in size. This will signify less clearance applicants and less work especially with reinvestigations all but a thing of the past.

Next step will be the “fork in the road” for many federal agents and contract investigators being laid off or forced to resign as the new administration continues to cut spending and cut back employees in the federal government. Could be a real interesting year in 2025. Who will be able to weather the storm?

Wait until March, when the debt ceiling hits again. My money is on a long and painful shutdown.
