Mark Cuban publicly offered support for federal workers laid off from the GSA’s 18F technology unit, which was disbanded, impacting about 70 employees. He urged the laid-off workers to leverage their skills by forming consulting companies, highlighting that government contractors will need their expertise in the future. This layoff aligns with ongoing efforts to reduce federal workforce size under directives linked to the Trump administration and has renewed discussions on the future of tech within government. Cuban expressed willingness to invest in their ventures, showing a collaborative spirit in the tech community.
"If you worked for 18F and got fired, group together to start a consulting company... I'm happy to invest and/or help."
"Cuban's offer came after the government's General Services Administration (GSA) abruptly gutted its 18F technology unit, affecting roughly 70 individuals."
