How interesting because that's what Trump did when he enacting a Federal hiring freeze the moment he took office. Thousands of people about to start a job with the Fed, including veterans, got screwed over. It didn't matter that they had already quit their old job, had all their stuff in transit or storage, and were about to move into the new house they rented or bought, as long as they hadn't started their first day, they were let go. 9000 people in his first six months in office.
