Layoffs begin! What's the shocking truth behind this government shutdown?
Federal worker layoffs have reportedly begun. Officials suggest these job cuts are "substantial." This is happening as the government shutdown continues.
This is deeply unfair to hardworking people!
More than 4,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. The Trump administration is behind this move. It aims to pressure Democrats. The government shutdown started in December 2018.
About 4,200 federal employees now face layoffs. This is according to the administration. The firings are a tactic. The White House wants to end the shutdown.
One official stated, "The RIFs have begun." RIF stands for Reduction in Force. This signals the start of the job cuts.
The full impact of these layoffs is still unfolding. Many wonder how this will affect government services.
