CIA offers buyouts to entire workforce as Trump reshapes federal agencies
For the first time ever, the CIA has offered buyouts to its entire workforce.
Employees can quit and receive around eight months of pay and benefits.
The move aligns with President Donald Trump’s push to shrink the federal government.
Officials say the program is meant to refocus the CIA on national security priorities.
But some believe the move aims to shift the CIA’s focus from intelligence analysis to covert operations.
The Trump administration is planning mass layoffs across federal agencies.
Workers who don’t accept the buyout may face job cuts soon.
The deadline to accept the package is Thursday, with layoffs expected shortly after.
Unions have advised employees not to accept the offer.
