In the early months of Trump's presidency, substantial layoffs hit the federal workforce, including both new and long-standing employees. The administration called for large-scale staff reductions and offered a controversial 'deferred resignation' proposal, providing incentives for federal employees to leave their positions. However, a federal judge blocked this initiative, citing legal concerns raised by unions. Many probationary employees faced layoffs, and approximately 75,000 opted for the early departure offer before the intervention. This wave of job losses impacted not only D.C. but the broader workforce across the U.S.
Thousands of federal employees have been laid off as the Trump administration implements large-scale reductions, impacting a significant portion of the civilian federal workforce.
Amid such cuts, the White House proposed a 'deferred resignation' plan, offering financial incentives to employees who chose to leave their jobs by a set deadline.
