In a significant shakeup, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is saying goodbye to 1,600 employees who have lost their jobs. Additionally, many other workers have been placed on paid leave. 📉
This move comes after a judge ruled on February 21 that the Trump administration has the authority to dismantle the agency. The sudden changes have left USAID employees uncertain about their futures as the organization navigates this major transition.
The layoffs mark a pivotal moment for USAID, an agency known for its role in international development and humanitarian efforts around the world. As the agency restructures, many are watching closely to see what this means for its mission and the communities it serves.
