Agencies were instructed to be prepared to roll out this part of the plan by the end of September.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For government agencies to fulfill these requirements would be an ambitious undertaking under any circumstances. But to accomplish this in accordance with the law in such a short time frame is most likely impossible, experts say.<\/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\">\u201cNo agency can do a genuine strategic plan in the next two weeks,\u201d said Donald F. Kettl, professor emeritus and the former dean of the University of Maryland\u2019s School of Public Policy. \u201cThey need to figure out what they want to do and how best to do it, before they take a chain saw to government and cut indiscriminately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The government is expected to follow specific rules when conducting these reductions in force. For one, employees need 60 days\u2019 notice, said Kevin Owen, an employment lawyer with Gilbert Employment Law. (The recent White House guidance said that agencies can request an exception to provide just 30 days\u2019 notice.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Additionally, each division making cuts this way is supposed to create an \u201cRIF\u201d registry where employees are ranked by their service, performance ratings and whether they are veterans, Mr. Owen said. And the government is supposed to try to find other jobs within the government for the highest-ranked employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe whole purpose of the RIF function is to retain the best qualified when you are reducing the number of jobs,\u201d Mr. Owen said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump previewed the aggressive timeline for downsizing the federal work force in an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/02\/implementing-the-presidents-department-of-government-efficiency-workforce-optimization-initiative\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">executive order<\/a> this month, and thousands of people have already been fired as a result. Most were in probationary positions or had occupied a job set aside for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that the administration canceled.<\/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\">No administration has tried to reduce the size of the federal work force at such a large scale and in such a short time frame. Since Mr. Trump\u2019s first day in office, federal workers have experienced a whirlwind of confusion, shock and trepidation, and the latest memo has only added to the feeling of dread before opening an email.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A nurse who works at a Veterans Affairs hospital said they live in a state of uncertainty. They and their colleagues do not know if they should be looking for other jobs. And their supervisors do not have any answers. The veterans who come into the center as patients are asking whether the hospital will shut down, said the nurse, who asked to speak on condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A mother who works at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and who is the sole breadwinner in her family, does not know how much longer she will have a job and by extension, health insurance. The woman, who asked to remain anonymous because she feared repercussions from the government, said she interprets this administration\u2019s goal to be inflicting trauma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t so awful, it would be hilarious,\u201d said Alma Aliaj, a former employee with the U.S. Agency for International Development who was recently fired, twice.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Sunday, Ms. Aliaj was notified that she is considered an essential employee and expected to stay working. On Monday morning, she received an email that notified her that her position would be cut as part of a reduction in force and that she would be out of a job on April 24. The document cited an inaccurate salary. A few hours later, she was told she was being fired because she was a probationary employee.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe amount of chaos and lack of thought cannot be overstated,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ahead of the new guidance for reductions in force sent on Wednesday, some agencies had already begun circulating their plans to employees. Other departments appeared to be taking steps to align with the Trump administration\u2019s requirements, such as by assessing office closures and lease terminations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The new F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/us\/politics\/kash-patel-fbi-staff-transfer.html\" title=\"\">has made plans<\/a> to send 1,000 agents in the Washington region to other parts of the country. He also intends to send another 500 support staff members, most of whom are currently based in Washington, to an F.B.I. campus in Huntsville, Ala.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Labor unions representing federal workers have strongly objected to some of the moves, arguing that the Trump administration is not following the rules that govern reductions in force.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, officials at the Department of Housing and Urban Development officials told employees that those cuts were coming \u2014 144 in the first round, all from the Office of Field Policy and Management, which is the main point of contact for local communities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHUD has followed almost none of the contractual or statutory requirements of a RIF,\u201d said Ashaki Robinson, a regional president for the Washington local of the American Federation of Government Employees, a union. \u201cThey literally only gave us a list of names, what office they work in and with the executive order as the reason for the RIF.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">To Mr. Trump, the shrinking of the federal government is going swimmingly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have cut billions and billions and billions of dollars,\u201d Mr. Trump said Wednesday during his first cabinet meeting. \u201cWe\u2019re looking to get it maybe to a trillion dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump did not provide evidence for the \u201cbillions of dollars\u201d he cited. The work conducted by Mr. Musk\u2019s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, also tasked with slashing various programs and government contracts in what his team has billed as a cost-saving operation, has been largely opaque. Its only public ledger, which asserts millions in savings so far, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/21\/upshot\/doge-musk-trump-errors.html\" title=\"\">is riddled with mistakes<\/a>. Additionally, there have been numerous instances in which the apparent speed at which the Trump administration has moved to terminate contracts and grants has led to key programs, including critical funding to help contain Ebola outbreaks, getting the ax.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/27\/health\/musk-ebola-funding.html\" title=\"\">admitted this<\/a> was an error.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion
