New strategy introduced by the Trump administration
The Trump administration has implemented a special scheme called the ‘Deferred Resignation Program (DRP). Under this, employees who voluntarily resign before September 30 will be allowed to receive full pay even if they are not available for work until that date. In addition, thousands of employees have been pressured to leave their jobs due to measures such as a ban on new hiring and additional staffing cuts.
The Trump administration says it is making these reforms to increase government efficiency, but critics accuse it of weakening the government system. Despite labor unions going to court, the US Supreme Court upheld the government’s decision by a margin of 8-1. In addition, a new department called the ‘ Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)’ led by Elon Musk has been established to oversee this program.
Effects on people
The impact of these resignations is already being felt across government services. **With the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) facing a 25% staff reduction, there are concerns that next year’s tax season will be severely delayed. Emergency services departments like the EPA and FEMA are struggling to respond quickly in times of crisis due to staff shortages. Work is also stalling in the departments of Health, Agriculture, and State.
This is not limited to the government machinery alone. It is also having a negative impact on the local economy in cities like Washington DC . At the same time, there is also the threat of a ‘government shutdown’ as the government’s funding deadline expires today. If that happens, another 7 lakh employees will be temporarily out of work. Experts warn that the existing crisis will worsen.
