What is the impact of the mass layoffs at the Health and Human Services Department?

The mass layoffs affecting approximately 3,600 employees across the Health Department have created significant disruption through their abrupt and seemingly arbitrary implementation. Rather than being precise, strategic cuts, employees are being terminated without warning, often without their supervisors' knowledge or even Trump political appointees being informed about which staff members are being let go. This has created a chaotic atmosphere where workers find out 'out of the blue' that they're being fired, leaving remaining staff uncertain and anxious about their positions and responsibilities.
