The Trump administration has escalated its efforts to reshape the federal workforce by ordering agencies to prepare plans for large-scale layoffs. This move, highlighted by a memo from the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management, emphasizes eliminating non-mandatory functions while focusing on efficient service delivery. The process was initiated by a February executive order and aims to expand on prior layoffs primarily affecting newer employees, thus raising concerns about the broader implications for federal operations and workforce stability.
"Federal agencies are being ordered to submit plans by mid-March for laying off employees in 'large-scale reductions in force' - an escalation in President Donald Trump's efforts to reshape the federal workforce."
"Under Trump's directive, agencies are encouraged to eliminate functions not statutorily mandated while ensuring efficient delivery of required services."
