The cuts have come at the direction of the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, the government overhaul initiative led by the tech billionaire Elon Musk.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The group\u2019s hard-charging effort has cast a pall over the federal work force since Mr. Trump returned to the Oval Office. This week\u2019s plans for the mass firings, called \u201creductions in force,\u201d should offer a clearer picture of the administration\u2019s vision of a downsized federal government.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Thousands of workers have also resigned voluntarily in recent days, accepting <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/01\/us\/politics\/federal-layoff-buyout-offers.html\" title=\"\">an offer to quit<\/a> while temporarily being paid \u2014 including more than 1,100 people at the National Park Service, according to a person familiar with the details. The incentive applied only in certain departments as Monday\u2019s deadline neared, and was originally pitched in January as a one-time offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Times has interviewed dozens of federal workers who have been fired or expect to be, as well as those who have watched co-workers disappear without any guidance on who would do their work. All spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retribution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Since Jan. 20, agency supervisors and managers have largely been left in the dark about the personnel changes. Many have come to rely on the news media to learn about their job security, a scientist with the Environmental Protection Agency said. And scant information about the resignation and early retirement offers has left federal workers to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/19\/technology\/reddit-va-federal-workers.html\" title=\"\">seek advice on social media<\/a> about whether to accept.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On April 7, the Department of Homeland Security sent an email announcing that it would also be offering another shot at deferred resignation and early retirement. The message said that human resources officials would follow up with more details. But one official said that never happened, giving him just 48 hours to give the department his decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The thousands of fired probationary workers have been in a state of limbo since mid-February, with <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/us\/politics\/trump-federal-workers-rehire-ruling.html\" title=\"\">court rulings that forced the government to reinstate the employees<\/a> that have since been <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/09\/us\/politics\/trump-federal-workers-firing.html\" title=\"\">overturned<\/a> or <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/08\/us\/politics\/supreme-court-probationary-workers.html\" title=\"\">paused<\/a>. Some fired workers who returned to their jobs this month have not been able to get a clear answer from their human resources officials about whether they were even eligible for a deferred resignation or if their employment status had changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The Department of Health and Human Services <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/27\/us\/politics\/health-department-job-layoffs-rfk-jr.html\" title=\"\">rolled out its layoffs on April 1<\/a> in an early morning email. Some employees learned they were fired when they got to the office and their building badges were no longer working. In total, the department laid off about 10,000 employees, in some cases eliminating entire departments and programs. The department did not give people the option of deferred resignations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Many fired workers from the department have said that the information about their service at the agency was inaccurate in the documents they received when they were laid off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The process for a reduction in force comes with specific steps that agencies must follow. As with other personnel actions, workers laid off in reductions of force must bring their challenges to the Merit System Protections Board, an independent administrative board that reviews employment decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The board is receiving exponentially more cases than it has in previous years. But President Trump fired the head of the panel, Cathy A. Harris, leaving it without a quorum. Newly fired workers may have to wait years for the board to hear their appeals while Ms. Harris <a class=\"css-yywogo\"
