Trump administration plans to cut 80,000 employees from Veterans Affairs, according to internal memo The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning an “aggressive” reorganization that includes cutting 80,000 jobs from the sprawling agency that provides health care for retired military members.

The VA’s chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, it had an objective to cut enough employees to return to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000.

Veterans have already been speaking out against the cuts at the VA. More than 25% of the VA’s workforce are veterans themselves.

The IRS is drafting plans to cut as much as half of its 90,000-person workforce, AP sources say The IRS is drafting plans to try to cut its workforce of roughly 90,000 people in half through a mix of layoffs, attrition and incentivized buyouts, according to two people familiar with the situation...

A reduction in force of tens of thousands of employees would render the IRS “dysfunctional,” said John Koskinen, a former IRS commissioner.

People of color make up 56% of the IRS workforce, and women represent 65%.
