President Donald Trump and adviser Elon Musk have initiated an extensive campaign to reduce the federal workforce, resulting in the dismissal of over 10,000 employees. The strategy predominantly targets workers with less than a year of service, who have fewer protections than tenured staff. In the Department of the Interior, 2,300 employees have been laid off, while the Department of Energy has cut 700 jobs amidst a backdrop of potential further layoffs, as management reviews re-hiring justifications for affected workers. This restructuring indicates a significant shift in the federal job landscape under this administration.
