OPM Mass firings happening now

Employees got an email about a mandatory meeting; at the meeting "they were all muted, cameras went dark & they heard a recording telling them they were all fired (more than 100 people) effective immediately."
from a friend: "OPM is firing all probationary employees in groups via recordings that say 'you have not demonstrated that your continued work is in the public interest'"
