In an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, agency heads were ordered to “promptly undertake preparations to initiate large-scale reductions in force (RIFs), consistent with applicable law.”

The executive order also states that the “Director of the Office of Management and Budget shall submit a plan to reduce the size of the Federal Government’s workforce through efficiency improvements and attrition (Plan.) The plan shall require that each agency hire no more than one employee for every four employees that depart, consistent with the plan and any applicable exemptions and details provided for in the Plan.”

Breitbart News’s Hannah Knudsen previously reported that over 65,000 federal workers have reportedly accepted the Trump administration’s buyout.
