The General Services Administration (GSA) is poised to issue reduction in force letters to employees in its Technology Transformation Services (TTS) branch, as part of a strategy to reduce workforce numbers drastically. Management has indicated that the TTS would suffer substantial cuts that may impair mission-critical capabilities relied upon by federal agencies. Recent layoffs have already seen probationary employees dismissed and the tech consultancy 18F eliminated. The overall budget of GSA is also under pressure for a significant reduction by the Trump administration, posing further uncertainty and potential service impairments.
"These teams deliver mission-critical capabilities to every federal agency. We (and our agency partners) are still in the dark on specifics, but TTS is the government's force multiplier."
"If you cut 100 TTSers, it delays or deletes service delivery for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of citizens."
