Officials from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) have struggled to contact some employees recently fired, informing them that their terminations had been rescinded.

On Friday, NNSA sent an email to staff, explaining that the termination letters for certain probationary employees were being reversed. However, officials noted they did not have the personal contact information for these individuals. These employees were laid off on Thursday and lost access to their federal government email accounts, making it difficult for NNSA to directly reach them. As a result, the agency urged recipients of the message to collaborate with supervisors to forward the information to the employees’ personal emails once they obtained it.
