The US Department of Efficiency proposes to lay off nearly 20% of the Internal Revenue Service employees

According to BlockBeats, on March 14th, CNN reported that the government efficiency department led by Musk proposed a significant reduction in the size of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), with nearly 20% of employees being laid off by May 15th (one month after US tax day). President Trump has ordered federal agencies to submit "massive" layoff plans by Thursday local time. According to a source familiar with the matter, the details of the IRS proposal have been released in an email from the Government Efficiency Department and will be discussed at the agency leadership meeting on Thursday morning. The latest round of layoffs will lay off nearly 6800 employees, in addition to approximately 6700 probationary employees who have already been laid off and 4700 employees who have accepted the Trump administration's voluntary buyout program.
