The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) experienced significant employee terminations, affecting primarily contractors and probationary personnel. An email notification reported by employees was mistake-ridden, indicating the chaotic nature of the dismissals. The cuts come after a challenging operational period during which the Department of Government Efficiency, linked to Elon Musk, disrupted access to the agency's systems. This upheaval coincided with leadership changes, further complicating the agency’s function and highlighting the tense atmosphere surrounding the CFPB.
"This is to provide notification that I am removing you from your position of [Job Title] and federal service consistent with the above references," the email from acting chief human capital officer Adam Martinez says.
The firings follow a tumultuous few days at CFPB. On Friday, staff for Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency shut down a portion of the agency's homepage after a day of struggling to obtain access to the CMS and other systems.
