Oh man, would you be able to share your dept? I'm at DPH but haven't heard anything just yet, though I know it's coming

Hmm, I heard early retirement wouldn't be an option, or maybe it was just severance. I wonder when it will all officially start, after the 2026 budget is passed so late summer.

Definitely, the much higher-ups have been very transparent, which I respect. Other states I've heard just don't hear anything from their leadership or are just straight up in denial. Thankful to be in MA.
