The Washington Post: The Trump administration might be best known for major defeats and repeated deceit, but that doesn’t stop it from being prepared — prepared to fire and furlough feds.
Two reports issued by the Office of Personnel Management are designed to help agencies prepare for employee layoffs, a.k.a reductions in force (RIFs) and compulsory unpaid leaves. Layoffs are likely if President Trump’s proposed $54 billion cut in the fiscal 2018 domestic discretionary budget, which begins in October, is approved. Of more immediate concern is the need for Congress to agree on stopgap funding before April 28 to avoid a partial government shutdown that would result in furloughs.
