Just a few weeks ago, the Trump administration announced the mass layoffs of 24,500 government workers.
Now, in an embarrassing U-turn, the government has been forced to rehire them under court orders!
A federal judge ruled that the layoffs were illegal, leaving government agencies scrambling to find ways to rehire the workers they had already laid off.
But don't be too relieved!
With Trump's workforce reduction plan still in place, these newly laid-off workers could be laid off again in the near future.
Meanwhile, thousands of laid-off workers are already adjusting to the harsh reality – some have begun cutting back on food, canceling outings with friends, and even cutting back on pet care in order to survive the economic uncertainty.
Now they're caught in a new dilemma: being rehired, but for how long?
All they can do is wait for their fate to be decided in court.
