Also, I don't really understand how they delivered letters letting people know that they had been fired but were struggling to rescind the letters because "we do not have a good way to get in touch with those personnel" Did they just hand them a note saying "your fired" and escort them out of the building?

  Well, obviously you can't have them hanging around in an office that manages the nuclear stockpile. It's a far too critical of a role to have a bunch of fired people around it.

  From what I read elsewhere, resignation letters were sent via corporate email. Once "escorted out" of the building, naturally their corporate accounts were cancelled. This article says: Attempting to reach the workers, the email, which was sent to current employees, said: "Please work with your supervisors to send this information (once you get it) to people's personal contact emails." (FYI, your != you are. use you're for this)

My understanding (from reading this and other articles on the topic) is that they blasted out mass emails to those who were fired and promptly disabled all their access and accounts (thereby preventing many of them from even getting the notice that they were fired).

Surely this thread is going to be nuked off the front page, right?

  Yeah, I am pretty tired of what seems like Musk fanboys flagging everything negative about Musk. A government agency, DOGE, not caring the slightest about security and getting hacked definitely did not deserve to be flagged like it was a few days ago.

When I was posting, `document.title ` said "US goverment seeks to rehire recently fired nuclear workers". I didn't want to introduce my editorialization.
