According to two leakers who talked to the Associated Press under condition of anonymity, the IRS is apparently creating plans to fire up to half of its employees through a combination of attrition, incentive buyouts, and layoffs “because they weren’t authorized to disclose the plans.”
According to the article, “The layoffs are part of the Trump administration’s efforts to shrink the size of the federal workforce through billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency by closing agencies, laying off nearly all probationary employees who have not yet gained civil service protection and offering buyouts to almost all federal employees through a “deferred resignation program” to quickly reduce the government workforce.”
John Koskinen, a former IRS commissioner, said that tens of thousands of workers would be laid off, making the agency “dysfunctional.” Fantastic News
