The US Internal Revenue Service began Laying Off 20,000 Workers!

The Internal Revenue Service of the US government has begun to execute their plan of workforce reductions which is reflected by laying off 20,000 workers initially. This accounts for nearly 25% of their workforce by aligning with the broader initiative of President Donald Trump administration. Further, it focuses on downsizing the federal agencies and eliminating diversity and inclusion programs across the various departments. People started to debate when their initiative’s aspect focused on dismantling the Civil rights and compliance of the IRS Office. 

The layoffs have arrived at the crucial time where the IRS department works in its busiest season which is 15th of April, the deadline date for tax approaches. These layoffs have disrupted the process of tax processing and customer service for millions of Americans & affected over 200,000 government workers.    

“The IRS has begun implementing a Reduction in Force(RIF) that will result in staffing cuts across multiple offices and job categories” – Internal Human Resources

Many experts are expressing their concern over the long-term impact of these changes on the functionality of IRS and federal employment standards that remains to be seen.
