"TTS director Thomas Shedd told employees via email this week that the agency is rescinding the notices of an intention to issue a reduction in force, or layoff, that it sent to employees within the TTS Office of Awards, Regulatory and Oversight Systems and its Digital Services Division in April. TTS oversees technology solutions like the government's identity proofing system, Login.gov; FedRAMP, a security standards program for cloud products and services; and Cloud.gov, a shared service for government agencies to move to the cloud."
"Shedd told staff in March that the TTS workforce would be cut in half as the team narrowed its work to only that required by statute, deemed "critical" or within the priorities of the administration. Overall, TTS staffing is down by 67% since Jan. 25, according to a recent inspector general report. GSA completely eliminated the tech consultancy within TTS, called 18F, in March."
A federal judge ordered a pause on layoffs and rescission of notices issued since Oct. 1, prompting the General Services Administration to abandon planned additional layoffs within Technology Transformation Services. TTS director Thomas Shedd rescinded April notices of intended reductions in force for the Office of Awards, Regulatory and Oversight Systems and the Digital Services Division. TTS manages Login.gov, FedRAMP and Cloud.gov. Shedd previously planned to cut the TTS workforce in half and staffing has fallen 67% since Jan. 25; the 18F tech consultancy was eliminated in March. GSA will reassess workforce needs, explore gaps, and consider reassignments.
