So… Remember how the judicial branch just laid off 47 employees?

Well, we hear through the homo vines of rumorism (is that a word?) that two strange events occurred leading up to the mass layoff.

One: the chief justice allegedly signed an order a few days before the layoffs that changed the way layoffs had to occur. He essentially removed the seniority factor so anyone could lose their job.

The Other: Entire departments were eliminated – but only lower level employees. All the managers got to keep their jobs. And there’s at least one manager who has no staff to manage in Mediation.

Anyone got further details?
