The federal human resources agency is preparing to launch software designed to expedite the process of layoffs within the U.S. government, a move attributed to Elon Musk's leadership in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). This updated version of the Pentagon's historical AutoRIF program aims to facilitate quicker workforce reductions, as significant downsizing occurs across federal agencies. The rollout comes as a number of government employees have already accepted severance packages or faced layoffs since the beginning of 2023, although the process has experienced challenges, including mistaken firings.
