After the Supreme Court gave the green light for the Trump admin to lay off people who work for the Trump admin (yes, we had to have a ruling on this) Big Marco and the Department of State were the first to take advantage of it.
The department is sending layoff notices to 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with domestic assignments in the United States, according to a senior department official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters before individual notices were emailed to affected employees.
Foreign service officers affected will be placed immediately on administrative leave for 120 days, after which they will formally lose their jobs, according to an internal notice obtained by The Associated Press. For most civil servants, the separation period is 60 days, it said.
Staffers are receiving an email about this "reduction in force" to overhaul the agency, streamline processes, and cut down on bloat.
Other federal agencies are expected to receive notices of mass layoffs in the coming weeks.
Got what I voted for (again)!
