Well, it's probably the 10% they didn't fire that they have to worry about now.



No I doubt that, these are sys admins? Unless they wipe everything and start over?


I mean worry about more than the 90% who have been fired and (presumably) don't have access to NSA computers anymore. Also, I don't think leaking NSA secrets is the main problem. I think their main problem will be finding and retaining talent. Why would you go work a government job like this if you don't even have job security. It's not like there's a shortage of demand for sysadmins in the private sector.


This is where all those psychological profiles they did at the interview stage pay off. At least, that's what they are banking on.


Recall that the CIA really likes to hire Mormons for their loyalty [1]. I'd be REALLY interested in knowing what % of the remaining sys ads are Mormon.

If that is so and the last 10% are as you suggest, surely that's discrimination for nonconfmormance?
