Trump Administration Orders Federal Agencies to Plan Workforce Reductions

Washington D.C. - The Trump administration has directed federal agencies to develop plans for reducing their workforce, potentially leading to significant changes in government operations. A memo issued by the White House Office of Management and Budget instructs agencies to submit plans by March 13 for a "reduction in force," which includes laying off employees and eliminating positions. This initiative aims to address the administration's concerns about the cost and efficiency of the federal government. Elon Musk, advising Trump on government overhaul, has been involved, with some departments already initiating workforce reductions. The General Services Administration, for example, has notified employees of an ongoing reduction in force.
