The US Government has implemented a significant reduction in its workforce, dismissing 9,500 employees across various departments as part of a campaign to streamline the bureaucracy. This action, spearheaded by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, follows a wave of buyouts that have encouraged voluntary departures, bringing the total number of affected employees to over 84,000. The dismissals have primarily targeted probationary employees and are part of a wider effort to reduce government spending and address concerns about waste and fraud.
