The Trump administration has decided to lay off dozens of technology specialists from the 18F unit within the General Services Administration. This unit was responsible for developing technology and software tools for various federal agencies, including the Internal Revenue Service's free tax filing service. Director Thomas Shedd indicated that this cut was part of a broader directive from government leadership. While 18F's termination focused on reducing roles, all other services remain unaffected, but uncertainty looms for future programs and changes in the government's digital infrastructure initiatives.
The Trump administration's decision to terminate the 18F unit will result in layoffs for technology specialists who developed key government software aimed at efficiency.
Thomas Shedd, the director of the Technology Transformation Services, stated that this decision stems from directives at the highest levels of the administration.
