Elon Musk's Plan Backfires as GSA Rehires Staff [View all]
The General Services Administration is asking hundreds of employees dismissed under Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s cost-cutting measures to return, following lawmaker criticism of the cuts’ impact on operations. Affected workers have reportedly been given a deadline to respond by the end of the week.
The GSA cut headquarters staff by 79%, leading to high costs aimed at maintaining unused office space. Musk’s plan sought to cut $206 billion in spending deemed “inefficient,” but critics have claimed it hasn’t saved money.
A General Services Administration spokesperson stated, “GSA’s leadership team has reviewed workforce actions and is making adjustments in the best interest of the customer agencies we serve and the American taxpayers.”
Acting PBS Commissioner Andrew Heller wrote, “This serves as an update to your previously issued notice of reduction in force. Your specific notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) has been rescinded, effective immediately.” He added, “Your decision of whether to accept or decline a return to duty is completely voluntary.”
