What concerns do people have about the federal job cuts implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency?
People are primarily concerned about the long-term impact of losing younger talent, particularly newer probationary employees who are being cut from federal positions. There's worry that these employees will leave government service entirely and take their valuable skills with them, creating a talent drain in critical areas of government. The concern is especially pronounced for high-profile offices like CISA (Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency), where specialized cyber skills are essential for national security. This suggests the cuts may have unintended consequences beyond immediate budget savings, potentially weakening the government's technical capabilities and institutional knowledge.
