Trump EO directs agencies to submit reorganization plans, prepare for RIFs
'Under the EO, the Office of Management and Budget will develop a plan to reduce the size of the government’s workforce “through efficiency improvements and attrition.” ...The order directs agency heads to prepare to initiate “large-scale reductions in force,” while at the same time terminating both temporary employees and reemployed annuitants working in areas “that will likely be subject to the RIFs.” The order does not specifically say when the RIFs would begin. ...specifies that personnel working on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, as well as any functions that Trump “suspends or closes,” are priorities for the RIF actions. It additionally calls for agencies to prioritize employees “performing functions not mandated by statute or other law who are not typically designated as essential” during a government shutdown.'
