The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is undergoing mass layoffs targeting nearly 25% of its workforce as part of Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr's restructuring plan. This decision has led to notable disruptions, such as the elimination of crucial programs protecting coal miners and infertility initiatives. As layoff notices were issued, employees faced uncertainty, highlighted by lines of staff at the Parklawn building. The lack of transparency around these layoffs has frustrated lawmakers and experts who are trying to comprehend the implications for public health and safety.
The layoffs were conducted without public details, leaving even congressional lawmakers unaware of the drastic staffing cuts across the Department of Health and Human Services.
Layoff notices resulted in long lines of employees at the Parklawn building, illustrating the immediate emotional impact the cuts had on workers, symbolizing uncertainty in their futures.
