2025 US Federal Deferred Resignation Program
"Fork in the Road" is the title and subject line of a memo sent on January 28, 2025, by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to all employees of the U.S. federal civil service. The memo, the first ever mass message to all roughly two million federal employees, offered a deferred resignation program for those unwilling to work under the second presidency of Donald Trump. The memo led to confusion about its authorship and legality, with several federal employee labor unions and political leaders advising employees not to accept the offer. History Background During the 2024 United States presidential election, then-candidate Donald Trump proposed downsizing the federal civil service and publicly considered a potential role for businessman Elon Musk. After the election, Trump and Musk announced the Department of Government Efficiency, intended to eliminate wasteful spending. Several high-profile members of what ''Politico'' and '' Vox'' call the "tech right", includin ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

2025 United States Federal Mass Layoffs
Tens of thousands of United States federal civil service workers have been laid off or fired since the start of the second presidency of Donald Trump. The Trump administration has called this an effort to reduce federal expenditures, shrink the federal payroll, reduce the ability of the government to regulate industry, reduce the role of government in U.S. society, and increase the power of the presidency. Opponents of the effort say it is a hasty, ill-conceived effort that is reducing crucial and beneficial services and violating the law. The administration's efforts to shrink the federal workforce have taken place in overlapping stages, including a January executive order seeking to strip thousands of employees of civil-service protections; a January "deferred-resignation" deal; the gutting of several specific agencies, including the United States Agency for International Development and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The longest-running stage began on the first day of ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Department Of Government Efficiency
Musk has offered to run the department The Department of Government Efficiency (DoGE) is a proposed US government department. Proposal The idea for the department was first proposed by Elon Musk, who joked about potentially establishing such an agency under a second Trump administration and naming it after a cryptocurrency. Trump has proposed creating a commission or agency focused on government efficiency, with Musk potentially leading it. The goal would be to streamline government spending, reducing bureaucracy, eliminate “waste, fraud and improper payments,” within six months of being formed and make the federal government more efficient. Musk has claimed he can cut at least $2 trillion of waste from the federal spending. The concept has been met with skepticism from some, including the American Federation of Government Employees, who worry about potential job losses and the replacement of civil servants with allies. Trump's proposal draws parallels with a similar co ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar yea ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
