Pentagon: 5,400 Civilian Workers to Be Cut Next Week

Article Title: Pentagon: 5,400 Civilian Workers to Be Cut Next Week

Article Excerpt: "...The Pentagon will be dismissing close to 5,400 probationary civilian workers next week as part of President Donald Trump's goal to "maximize efficiency and productivity" in the federal government. ..."We want you, the American people, the taxpayers, to understand why we're making the decisions that we're making here," Hegseth said, adding that with the Department of Government Efficiency, "we're focusing as much as we can on headquarters, on fat and redundancies and top line stuff that allows us to reinvest elsewhere."

Selnick said in his statement, "As the Secretary made clear, it is simply not in the public interest to retain individuals whose contributions are not mission-critical. "
