A spox for the #OMB said the reductions are “substantial” but did not offer more immediate details.
The #Education Dept is among the agencies hit by new #layoffs, a dept spox said Friday without providing more details. The dept had ~4,100 employees when #Trump took office in January, but its workforce was nearly halved amid #MassFirings in the admin’s first months. At the start of the shutdown, it had ~2,500 employees.

@trumpwatch.bsky.social Federal workers are Americans, taxpayers, parents, spouses. They go to work every day to operate agencies that serve the American people - keeping bombs off airplanes, feeding the poorest women and children, administering Social Security and Medicare. They have children to feed, elderly parents to care for, mortgages to pay, dreams of retirement before age 80. They deserve and have earned their pay which is guaranteed by law. Trump is unhinged, sadistic, and destroying working families. #governmentshutdown #FederalWorkers #economy #layoffs #workingclass #foodinsecurity #gopshutdown #TheCrueltyIsThePoint #MAGA #norepublicanseveragain #resist #resistance

"The image of Russ Vought smiling as he begins firing more federal workers should be a front page item in tomorrows newspapers. They are enjoying this."

Another tough day for indie game dev: Heart Machine is ending development on Hyper Light Breaker and laying off staff. They cite 'broader forces' like funding shifts & corporate consolidation. A stark reminder of the challenges small studios face. When will the industry stabilize?
💥 Accenture CEO Says It's Sacking Employees Who Won't Embrace AI
｢ But if Accenture workers fail to appease their overlords, the CEO says they’ll be dumped like yesterday’s trash. In their place, the IT firm will hire people who already have the AI “skills” necessary to appease stockholders. This includes tapping into an increasingly “global” workforce — a nice way to say “outsourcing jobs to underpaid gig workers in the global south.” ｣
