State Department layoffs possible this Friday amid legal and judicial uncertainties
TL;DR
The U.S. State Department is potentially planning to lay off up to 3,448 employees, including 700 in D.C., possibly starting as soon as Friday, amid efforts to streamline the department. The timing depends on a Supreme Court decision regarding a court order that temporarily paused government-wide layoffs. The department has announced a reorganization aimed at reducing bureaucracy, but legal and procedural disputes are ongoing.
