Workday handed no-bid deal to fix staffing meltdown at Uncle Sam's uber-HR agency The US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) awarded Workday a sole-source contract to overhaul its human resources systems - bypassing any formal competition - citing critical failures in its aging, fragmented HR infrastructure and binding deadlines from President Trump's executive orders on workforce restructuring. OPM acts …
The operatives that work for trump are known for being honest and not motivated by personal profit. There were probably no nice dinners, trips to exotic locations such as merdelargo, baubles and beads.
If this doesn't work out as outlined on that back-of-the-napkin deal, the US taxpayers will gladly chip in. (If there are any left.)

That's the gist, anyway. Posted anon for obvious reasons ;-)
That's the WORST (WOrkforce ReShaping Tool) possible outcome ever! Even old-school sleepy slowmo IBM can replace its HR Dept with AI in the blink of an eye ... why can't our most brilliant of youthfully enthusiastic DOGE brownshirt wankers succeed at it and become the most effective of Federal Terminators?!?!
A quarter-million feds laid off and now you gotta re-hire them all as temps (through Workday) ... Pfaaah!
Words cannot stick around long enough for me to comprehensively describe how inexplicably unimaginable this whole situation is (or not?)!
Yeahbut those temps will be much more lower paid than the permie jobs they got sacked from. DOGE SAVINGS!!. But wait, there's the Workday markup/admin/management costs to add on to each temps costs, so it will 100% be more expensive to have those lower paid temps on the job, which will be hidden deep in the small print.
