- The actions of the Doge Office have led to more than 216,000 layoffs, found a new report.
- The Challenger report, Gray & Christmas, Inc. is the most complete look at the group’s layoffs.
- Elon Musk, the de facto chief of the Doge Office, saw his popularity tumble in the middle of the layoffs.
The actions of the White House office led to 216,670 federal workers and entrepreneurs, according to a new report by a global overlapping company.
The Doge Office has only confirmed specific numbers of layoffs, which means that the Challenger, Gray & Christmas, Inc. report is one of the few estimates of the size of its actions.
Challenger noted that the actions of the Doge Office represented the majority of job cuts which are now the third highest monthly total ever recorded since the start of the company which began to follow the data in 1989. The other highest months came in April and May 2020 at the height of the Pandemic COVVI-19.
“Employment elimination announcements were dominated last month by the Ministry of Government Effectiveness (DOGE) plans to eliminate positions within the federal government,” said Andrew Challenger, Vice-President Director and Expert in the workplace for Challenger, Gray & Christmas in a statement. “It would have been a month old enough for dismissals.”
Tens of thousands of federal workers have been dismissed. The major changes remain as the White House pushes to dismantle the Ministry of Education. DOGE shares to effectively end the American Agency for International Development (USAID) and at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) continue to be pleaded before the Federal Court.
The government has managed all job cuts on jobs last month, the company noted. Challenger said that Doge Office’s shares had led to an increase of 624% of government layoffs compared to the first quarter of 2024.
Pressure by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to reorganize the federal government has become the biggest history of Trump’s second term.
On Wednesday, the White House minimized a politico report that Musk will soon leave the Trump administration because of the 130 -day deadline for employees of the special government which would take place at the end of May or early June. The popularity of Musk has crushed in the middle of his de facto management of the Doge Office, harming both republican candidates and Tesla’s results.
