MIAMI (AP) — Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk’s cost-cutting blitz are being asked to return to work.
GSA was established in the 1940s to centralize the acquisition and management of thousands of federal workplaces.
Last month, the IRS said it would allow some employees who took a resignation offer to remain on the job.
The Labor Department has also brought back some employees who took buyouts, while the National Park Service earlier reinstated a number of purged employees.
Hundreds of others — those subject to the recall notice — were dismissed as part of an aggressive push to reduce the size of the federal workforce.
DOGE identified the agency, which had about 12,000 employees at the start of the Trump administration, as a chief target of its campaign to reduce fraud, waste and abuse in the federal government.
DOGE also wanted GSA to sell hundreds of federally owned buildings with the goal of generating billions in savings. »
