In a push for governmental downsizing, federal agencies are moving quickly to cut jobs, extending buyout offers and closing offices as a deadline looms. Key agencies, including Agriculture and Defense, have given employees until April 11 to consider deferred resignations, enabling them to leave while still receiving pay. This effort aligns with directives from President Trump and advisor Elon Musk to streamline government operations, focusing on reducing staff and eliminating programs viewed unfavorably. While these actions aim to achieve significant savings, it’s noted that federal workforce expenditures constitute only a small percentage of the overall budget.
