The new Trump administration’s effort to both get a grip on and dismantle the federal workforce has also been a dystopian farce.

President Donald Trump is relying on a relatively obscure federal agency to reshape government. The Office of Personnel Management was created in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter and is the equivalent of the government's human resources departent.

Echoing Elon Musk's approach to thinning out Twitter's staff in 2022, Donald Trump's plan to significantly slash the government workforce now, for a limited time only, includes offering resignation buyouts.

Less than a fortnight in office, President Donald Trump has quickly targeted federal employees in his attempt to remake the government in his own image, using the politics of revenge.

Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

The Trump administration released guidance on the classification formerly known as Schedule F, calling for redetermination of policy-influencing positions.

Billionaire Elon Musk has worked behind the scenes on an initiative aimed at depleting the civil service, prompting questions about its legality.

The Trump administration is offering federal employees buyouts of about eight months' salary if they resign by February 6.

The Trump administration is offering buyouts to all federal employees who don't want to return to in-person work in one of its latest moves — a little over a week after President Donald Trump signed an executive order mandating federal workers' return to the office.

Agencies have until April 20 to recommend federal employee positions to be converted into the new “Policy/Career” classification, according to an OPM memo.

The Trump administration is offering buyouts to federal workers. Read the memo the Office of Personnel Management posted for employees.

The government’s human resources agency also said it would begin subjecting all federal employees to “enhanced standards of suitability and conduct” and ominously warned of future downsizing.
