TechFlame News According to US financial media Semafor, after the US Supreme Court paved the way for the Trump administration to push forward with institutional restructuring and streamlining plans, US State Department employees are preparing to face large-scale layoffs that may begin this Friday local time. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court overturned the lower court's ruling to block the original layoff plan. The scale of the layoffs this time is likely to reach several thousand people. According to several sources, the US State Department has anticipated this ruling and is currently preparing to launch the “forced staff reduction” notification process this week, but the exact schedule is still variable. While awaiting a Supreme Court ruling, the US State Department has begun preparing a broader restructuring plan: last month, the department required civil servants to submit updated resumes and updated the Foreign Affairs Handbook to meet the needs of the restructuring.
