How Federal Employees Still Working Are Managing Amid Uncertainty

Several months after Donald Trump took office, a notable number of federal employees have resigned amid widespread reductions in staff across various government agencies.
These departures follow budget and workforce cuts led by the Department of Government Efficiency under Elon Musk and related reorganization efforts.
FEMA lost about 1,000 workers, representing 20% of its full-time staff, while roughly 25% of IRS employees plan buyouts as flexible schedules end.
