The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is planning a significant workforce reduction, aiming to cut over 80,000 jobs from the agency. 📉 According to an internal memo cited by U.S. media outlets, the goal is to return the VA to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000.
VA's chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, addressed senior officials on Tuesday, outlining the ambitious plan. This means that approximately 82,000 staff members will be let go. 😟
The move is part of an effort to streamline operations and possibly address budgetary constraints. Veterans and employees alike are watching closely to see how these changes will impact the delivery of services. Stay tuned for more updates! 📰✨
