US Government struggles to rehire nuclear arsenal staff it fired days ago..

The US government is trying to bring back nuclear safety employees it fired on Thursday, but is struggling to let them know they should return to work, it has been reported.

The National Nuclear Security Administration workers were among hundreds of employees in the energy department who received termination letters.

An email obtained by NBC said the letters for the NNSA employees "are being rescinded, but we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel".

You just couldn’t make this up, even in your worst nightmares…

Financial compensation for the appalling treatment by their employer might be in order . .

@SunshineGirl I am not sure we can blame the direct employer, the NNSA, itself though. Almost all the US Government agencies are being cut right back, very rapidly, very severely, apparently without due process such as union negotiations, so I think the order must be from the Oval Office.

@ArishMell Absolutely. It must be a nightmare trying to do a civil service job right now.
