DOGE Has Started Gutting a Key US Technology Agency
At least dozens of workers at the Technology Transformation Service were fired on Wednesday, a day after similar sudden cuts at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
The sudden cuts seemingly targeted probationary and short-term staffers, including workers supplied by the Presidential Innovation Fellowship program, which brings skilled technologists from the private sector to work in government for a few years at a time. Sources also tell WIRED that TTS management met with workers individually prior to the terminations, giving them one last chance to take the deferred resignation offered in the “Fork in the Road” email from late last month. GSA’s vision for the TTS, under new leadership, is an agency that runs like a “startup software company,” WIRED reported last week, focusing on AI, automating different internal processes, and centralizing data from across the federal government.
