They will start with those who are not indeterminate which means those on term but will also be getting rid of some indeterminate (permanent) positions.
Nobody is happy about this happening but we all knew it was coming. We have had crazy workloads up until this year and extra people were hired. The post-pandemic stuff is now all done. We are now actually caught up so obviously not everyone is needed. We're just hoping that things are done fairly.

I don't work in the public sector. I am not directly impacted.
Depending on the numbers and time frame, sometimes this can be done just with not hiring new people for a year or two. However sounds like they need to reduce heat count a bit faster than that.
Slow rational target process that involves the unions sounds much better than what is happening in the US.
