Roughly 275,000 federal workers lost their jobs this week. That’s over 10% of the federal workforce.
~75,000 took the “buyout”
~200,000 probationary workers were let go (the WH has not confirmed the total, but this is how many were on probationary status)That’s a lot of lives… pic.twitter.com/oHnH2MGLFe

I remember the cope from Democrats after the election that DOGE was “nothing man than a glorified blue ribbon commission” for the First Buddy.
“The fog of war is a good analogy for what has transpired the past few days in the federal workforce.
After getting a favorable ruling to move forward, the so-called “deferred resignation” program closed Wednesday night, with 75,000 workers signing up. This represents about three percent of federal employees, short of the administration’s goal of 5-10 percent. Some agencies saw higher pickup, like the eight percent of staff at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation who opted for it. But some IRS employees who took the offer were then told they had to stay until May 15 because their jobs were “essential” to tax filing season. It’s the first documented shenanigan of a program that is still being challenged in court.
The end of deferred resignation triggered the next hack at the workforce, targeting “probationary” employees who have been at their jobs for a short period (between one and two years) and lack many civil service protections. The layoffs came rolling in like waves: there were 70 cut at the Office of Personnel Management, “dozens” at the Department of Education, more than 1,000 at the Department of Veterans Affairs, 2,300 at the Interior Department, 3,400 at the U.S. Forest Service (a month after deadly wildfires in Los Angeles), close to 3,600 at the FBI, up to 5,200 at the Department of Health and Human Services, as many as 9,000 at the IRS. …”
As things stand today, anywhere from 3% to 10% of federal employees have been fired. Reddit is overflowing with the tears of crying federal employees who have been laid off.
