American Hero Pete Hegseth slashes 60,000 Pentagon civilian jobs in massive purge sending shockwaves

[Maximum Overkill 1,997]

Pentagon officials say Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to ensure cuts don't jeopardize U.S. military readiness. He was one of a handful of agency heads who told employees to hit pause when Musk last month asked 2 million federal workers to write an email about five things they did last week.  

To reach the goal of a 5% to 8% cut in a civilian workforce of more than 900,000, the official said, the department aims to slash about 6,000 positions a month by simply not replacing workers who routinely leave.

So just normal attrition?  Makes sense.

My work does this all the time. Someone retires or moves on and they just don't backfill.

I've not been a fan of all the cuts Trump and DOGE have been implementing but attrition seems an appropriate way to trim a bloated workforce

seems like a great solution

This one actually makes sense.  Maybe they learned something.

Wow, unanimous agreement from the political range of GC. Nice job, Trump and Hegseth.
