The initial focus on veterans was confusing and seemed contrary to our understanding of\nhow RIFs categorize and prioritize staff for retention. But we had no communication about any\naspect of the RIF before or after it commenced, and no avenue to reach senior CFPB leadership to\nbetter understand what was happening As subsequent waves of notices were emailed to employees, it became clear that nearly everyone was eventually going to receive a RIF notice. I\nreceived my RIF notice at 3:35 pm ET. Reporting in the media around that same time indicated\nthat nearly 1,500 employees were expected to receive notices by the end of the day. That reporting\nappears consistent with the information provided in the April 18, 2025, declaration of Chief Legal\nOfficer, Mark Paoletta.", "image": { "$type": "blob", "ref": { "$link": "bafkreiflwffqinjivmyunpmonkwtm3zruealh2rxrd5khw4wcnydn4c4ve" }, "mimeType": "image/jpeg", "size": 531859 }, "aspectRatio": { "width": 1284, "height": 1277 } } ] }, "langs": [ "en" ], "reply": { "root": { "cid": "bafyreiftrrjkmmgen4wahb4dbqj3fv6jxa4tg6v2l7v5p7l5jlnqacogci", "uri": "at://did:plc:32lvgu3krzhhw3h6k3pme72r/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnpgxzfsik2m" }, "parent": { "cid": "bafyreiantewhfe5hmcqrskjsesvolkm4qmdgf7ooesqq4xku4x2vio5zty", "uri": "at://did:plc:32lvgu3krzhhw3h6k3pme72r/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnpsgf6owk2s" } }, "facets": [ { "index": { "byteEnd": 304, "byteStart": 263 }, "features": [ { "uri": "https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.277287/gov.uscourts.dcd.277287.127.15.pdf", "$type": "app.bsky.richtext.facet#link" } ] } ], "createdAt": "2025-04-28T15:36:14.429Z" } }
