Trump's Federal Workforce Overhaul: Potential Cuts and Controversies

The Trump administration's new Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, aims to reduce federal workforce numbers and spending. Business Insider reports that federal medical officers, ship pilots, and general attorneys have the highest average salaries, with medical officers topping the list. The initiative may lead to job cuts and require federal employees to work in-office five days a week, potentially increasing voluntary turnover. The plan includes early retirement and severance packages, though details are sparse.
