If you work for the federal government, there's a good chance you'll receive a pink paper, or at least a severance package before joining the new Trump administration, according to On the Money. Reported.
In a move to tame the Leviathan known as the vast federal workforce, President-elect Donald Trump is creating a new Department of Government Efficiency headed by Tesla Inc. President Elon Musk and biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy. ” was founded.
Officials say the dynamic duo is tasked with hacking $2 trillion in waste and abuse costs and eliminating some government jobs that have been deemed untouchable due to civil service rules. He is said to be keeping an eye on him.
They are looking for ways to get around the rules. During the Trump era, the Donald signed an executive order that gave the White House the power to fire public employees en masse. To circumvent civil service regulations, you need to attack the entire department rather than individual jobs.
They are also considering private sector methods, including providing retirement benefits. Of course, companies do this all the time. There will be some short-term pain in terms of initial costs, but the savings will be greater in the future.
However, this is unusual for the nation, and any layoffs will surely meet resistance. That's why Trump's advisers are considering severance deals that would pay salaries and benefits for several years to encourage people to leave before their jobs disappear, people close to the president said on-the-spot.・Told Money.
We all know how much President Trump hates the so-called deep state, the supposedly nameless and faceless bureaucrats who wield tremendous power within the government. In fact, these people have faces and names, and there are literally tens of millions of them in powerful positions in various federal agencies, but you actually don't know anyone in the White House.
Musk and Ramaswamy were President Trump's chief economic advisers during the campaign, and both believe the federal government is more wasteful than any company it has ever seen. Elon is especially good at eliminating inefficient tasks. Recall that after acquiring Twitter and renaming it to X, he got rid of over 80% of the social media platform's employees without incident.
No one likes being fired. This is especially true for civil servants, who can be reached by phone most of the time from home. So while things may get messy, Trump supporters say the fight is necessary. And they have the right people to lead that effort.
