The CFPB recently laid off at least 70 employees through impersonal emails, sparking protests among former staff highlighting the importance of the agency's work protecting consumers. The layoffs occurred after orders from Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, that halted almost all CFPB operations, potentially harming consumer protections established since the agency was created in 2010. The CFPB has historically played a crucial role in supervising banks and ensuring fair practices, which is now threatened by these sudden workforce reductions.
The impersonal nature of the layoff email, which lacked personal touch, left employees feeling undervalued and disrespected, compared to being 'broken up with over text.'
Congress established the CFPB in 2010 to protect American consumers by regulating banks and financial products, a role now jeopardized by recent layoffs.
