State Dept. cuts poised to be more severe than previously outlined with 3,400 employees on the chopping block
Briefly

The State Department is set to implement more extensive staff cuts than previously stated, impacting about 3,400 employees starting in early June. This follows a reorganization initiative by Secretary Marco Rubio, which includes 132 office closures resulting in 700 job eliminations. Subsequently, an additional 2,700 positions will be reduced, affecting both civil and foreign service employees without any chance for foreign service officers to re-bid for new roles. Implementation begins June 2, with final details being finalized ahead of the July completion date.
The State Department's impending cuts are focused on eliminating around 3,400 jobs, significantly impacting both civil and foreign service positions without opportunities for reassignment.
Secretary Marco Rubio's restructuring aims for a 15% workforce reduction, leading to both immediate office closures and a wave of job eliminations affecting thousands.
