The White House has ordered mass layoffs to prevent a government shutdown!
The Office of Management and Budget has notified government agencies to develop mass layoff plans to prevent a federal government shutdown on October 1st.
Government shutdowns due to budget issues are common in the United States, but previously, the approach was for employees to take large unpaid leave, and everything would return to normal once the budget crisis was resolved. This time is completely different; instead of just laying off and cutting staff, they are also closing programs and projects that do not align with the president's priorities.
According to a political magazine analysis, the White House is using layoffs as a tool to exert pressure, increasing leverage in the confrontation with Democrats over public spending issues in Congress.
