DOGE spent roughly $11 billion on payments to convince people to leave government jobs, and now agencies (Social Security leading the pack) are scrambling to hire back the very positions they cut. They literally paid to have fewer people, and now they're paying again to get people back. The cherry on top is calling this "reshaping" instead of a failure. One NEH employee even got invited to interview... for a job at the same place that had laid her off. That's not efficiency, that's an expensive loop nobody wants to admit is a mistake.
