The White House directed all federal departments and agencies on Wednesday to prepare for widespread workforce cuts, continuing President Donald Trump‘s overarching goal of shrinking the federal bureaucracy.
The Office of Management and Budget and Office of Personnel Management sent a memo Wednesday morning, obtained by the Washington Examiner, saying to “take preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs)” and submit two separate “Agency Reorganization Plans” to the White House by March 13 and April 14, respectively. The memo also sets an implementation date of Sept. 30, 2025, for the “Phase 2” plan.
