The crudeness of the boilerplate fake performance complaints in these mass firings has an unsettling echo of how the banks in the financial crisis couldn't begin to prove they owned the loans but got away with foreclosing on people's homes with forged or missing documents anyway

Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend. This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.
