OGC already made its cuts:https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/ogc-reorganization-effort.html

Now, I'm sure client cuts are going to impact us but we seem to be safe from this mass layoff since we already made our blood offering.

Referring more to the subagencies (FDA, CMS, etc.)

The reorg above includes the division counsel like PHD(nih, CDC, etc), fdd (Fda), cmsd(cms). They cut entire field offices to avoid cutting more than a few probies from the divisions.

I've heard lots of vera/vsip retirements though, from the division offices
