Elon Musk's recent cost-cutting measures have led to erroneous termination notices for staff at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Sources revealed the haste of implementation resulted in numerous mistakes, including wrong employment dates and salary information, necessitating corrected notices to avoid financial repercussions for affected workers. Many USAID employees, who had been on paid leave, returned to rectify these errors, as the State Department prepares to assume some USAID functions amid ongoing cuts to U.S. foreign aid under the Trump administration. This situation raises concerns over potential impacts on pensions and severance.
"The only thing correct was my name," one USAID worker told Reuters on condition of anonymity. It highlights the serious errors in the termination notices sent to agency staff.
Several of the sources pointed to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management's retirement website, emphasizing the risk of reduced or canceled pensions due to these incorrect notices.
