This is all part of Trump/P2025's plan :to bend or break the bureaucracy to the presidential will":

The great challenge confronting a conservative President is the existential need for aggressive use of the vast powers of the executive branch to return power"including power currently held by the executive branch"to the American people. Success in meeting that challenge will require a rare combination of boldness and self-denial: boldness to bend or break the bureaucracy to the presidential will and self-denial to use the bureaucratic machine to send power away from Washington and back to America's families, faith communities, local governments, and states.

Keep in mind this is all part of P2025's plan:

Russell Vought: Trump appointee who wants federal workers to be in trauma'

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.
