The new Trump administration’s effort to both get a grip on and dismantle the federal workforce has also been a dystopian farce.

President Donald Trump is relying on a relatively obscure federal agency to reshape government. The Office of Personnel Management was created in 1979 by President Jimmy Carter and is the equivalent of the government's human resources departent.

Agencies should aim for a 30-day deadline to implement Trump’s return-to-office executive order, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

Employees have until Feb. 6 to decide whether to take the buyouts offered by OPM or return to the office— in most cases, five days a week.

Less than a fortnight in office, President Donald Trump has quickly targeted federal employees in his attempt to remake the government in his own image, using the politics of revenge.

The Trump administration released guidance on the classification formerly known as Schedule F, calling for redetermination of policy-influencing positions.

Federal workers who don’t want to return to the office are being offered buyouts, according to a memo posted to the US Office of Personnel Management’s website Tuesday night.

Billionaire Elon Musk has worked behind the scenes on an initiative aimed at depleting the civil service, prompting questions about its legality.

The Trump administration is offering buyouts to federal workers. Read the memo the Office of Personnel Management posted for employees.

The Trump administration OPM and OMB offices went on a memo blitz on Monday, including directing agency leaders to pause federal grants and to deliver return to office plans.

Agencies have until April 20 to recommend federal employee positions to be converted into the new “Policy/Career” classification, according to an OPM memo.

The government’s human resources agency also said it would begin subjecting all federal employees to “enhanced standards of suitability and conduct” and ominously warned of future downsizing.
