The White House is directing federal agencies to prepare for large-scale layoffs, so-called reductions in force (RIF), according to guidance sent out by the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management on Wednesday.
The federal government's personnel and budget offices issued a memo to the leaders of all executive branch agencies on Wednesday directing them to submit "reorganization plans" within two weeks and prepare for large-scale firings.

Russell Vought: Trump appointee who wants federal workers to be in trauma'www.theguardian.com
The Christian nationalist head of the office of management and budget was central to the Project 2025 blueprint
If federal employees are feeling traumatized right now, Russell Vought, the new head of the office of management and budget (OMB), probably has something to do with it.
"We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected," Vought said in a video revealed by ProPublica and the research group Documented in October. "When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work, because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down ... We want to put them in trauma."
Vought's words, delivered at an event hosted by his thinktank, Center for Renewing America, were striking. They reflected a view, long-espoused by Vought, that the government should be brought to heel by a sweepingly powerful executive branch.
These are the scum that is stealing our country right from out under us. Remember their faces and forget their names as we whack their heads off soon enough! www.nytimes.com
