Miami (AP)-the federal employees who have lost their jobs to reduce Elon Musk’s cost Blitz are asked to return to work.
Based on the Memorandum received by Associated Press, the General Services Administration to the employees – who managed the government’s jobs – to accept or refuse the week by the end of the week. Those who accept must report on October 6, after it is a seven-month paid leave, during which the GSA has in some cases covered the high costs of transmitting taxpayers to dozens of real estate, which has been terminated or has been terminated.
“After all, the result was that the agency was broken and the staff was missing,” said former GSA real estate officer Chad Becker. “They had no people they needed to perform the main functions.”
Becker, representing owners with Government Rental Arco Real Estate Solutions, said the GSA months were “Triage”. He said the sudden change in the reduction reflects how Elon Musk and his Government Department went too much, too fast.
Rewriting federal employees
GSA was established in 1940 to centralize the acquisition and management of thousands of federal jobs. Returning to a job request reflects efforts in several agencies directed at the dog. Last month, IRS said this would allow some employees who chose the resignation offer to work. The Department of Labor also returned some employees who accepted the redemption, and the National Park Service has previously restored many cleaned employees.
GSA, which owns many buildings, is critically important for the work of such agencies. Since March Thousands of GSA employees withdrew from the agency as programs that led to resignation or retire early. Hundreds of others – a cancellation report – were rejected as part of the aggressive impetus to reduce the size of the federal labor force. Although those employees did not appear for work, they had to be paid by the end of this month.
GSA representatives did not answer detailed questions about the work announced by the Agency on Friday. They also refused to discuss the number of agency staff, personnel solutions, or possible exceeding the costs caused by the abolition of its plans to terminate the lease.
“The GSA leadership team has reviewed the workforce and carries out the adjustments that the customer agencies we serve are best interested in, and American taxpayers,” A spokesman for the agency stated in the letter.
Democrats attacked Trump’s administration’s reckless approach to the cost of cost and job reduction. Rep. Greg Stanton from Arizona, the chief Democrat in GSA, supervised by GSA, said there was no evidence that the agency’s reduction “saved any savings”.
“It causes expensive confusion while damaging the taxpayers themselves depends on the taxpayers themselves,” he said.
Doge found an agency for about 12,000 employees at the beginning of the Trump administration as the main goal of his campaign to reduce fraud, waste and abuse in the federal government.
A small group of Musk’s reliable helpers embedded in the GSA headquarters, sometimes sleeping on the sixth floor of the Cots and made plans to abruptly cancel nearly half of the 7,500 leases in the federal portfolio. Doge also wanted GSA to sell hundreds of federal federal buildings to save billions.
GSA started sending more than 800 rental reports to landlords, in most cases without informing government tenants. The agency also announced the list of hundreds of government buildings that were directed at the sale.
Doge’s huge reduction of jobs gave little savings
The retreat to GSA’s dumping of her portfolio was fast, and both initiatives were collected back. Since then, Doge has terminated more than 480 lease contracts. Those leases were dedicated to offices scattered throughout the country, which are occupied by agencies such as ICS, the Social Security Administration and the Food and Drug Administration.
According to a former GSA real estate officer, Doge’s “Receipt Wall”, which once boasted that the lease alone would save nearly $ 460 million.
Meanwhile, GSA has started a huge reduction in jobs. Based on a federal official who informed the situation, the administration reduced the GSA headquarters by 79%by 79%, its portfolio managers by 65%and the device managers 35%. The official who was not allowed to speak to the media provided statistics for anonymity.
Due to the internal upheaval 131, the lease has expired when the Government did not actually loosen the real estate, the official said. The situation with agencies revealed high taxes because real estate owners could not rent those spaces for other tenants.
The public may soon have a clearer picture of what has become clear in the agency.
The Government Accountability Service, an independent Congress watchman, examines GSA management for his workforce, termination of the lease and the transferred buildings and hopes that the following months will be released, said David Marroni, chief GAO official.
