List of ALL DOGE Layoffs This Week - And Potential Danger

Mass Layoffs Sweep Federal Agencies Under Musk’s “Government Efficiency” Purge

In an unprecedented move, Elon Musk, appointed by Donald Trump to lead the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has executed sweeping layoffs across multiple federal agencies. Dubbed an "efficiency drive," the initiative has already seen thousands of employees fired in just a few days, with critics calling it an ideological assault on government institutions. The abrupt nature of the cuts has sparked chaos, fear, and, in some cases, serious national security concerns.

Agencies Hit by Layoffs This Week

Over the last six days, at least seven federal agencies have been significantly downsized:

• Department of Energy (DOE) – Nearly 2,000 employees, including hundreds from the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), were fired, triggering national security fears.

• Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) – Over 1,000 staff members dismissed under the guise of "streamlining services."

• Small Business Administration (SBA) – Approximately 720 employees, nearly 20% of the agency's workforce, were terminated.

• Department of Education – Dozens of new hires and probationary employees let go, with deeper cuts expected.

• Office of Personnel Management (OPM) – The federal government’s HR department saw its own staff terminated with no prior warning.

• Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) – Entire investigative units, particularly those probing Big Tech and financial abuses, were wiped out.

• General Services Administration (GSA) – Layoffs followed by new electronic monitoring policies for remaining staff.

The targeted employees were largely new hires or probationary staff, allowing the administration to bypass union protections and due process, a strategy critics say is meant to weaken government oversight rather than improve efficiency.

Fallout and Controversy

Nuclear Security Scare at DOE

The most alarming consequence came when hundreds of NNSA employees were fired, only for DOE officials to hastily reverse the decision upon realizing the national security implications. Scientists and engineers responsible for nuclear stockpile maintenance were reinstated within hours, highlighting the recklessness of Musk’s approach.

CFPB Gutted – “The Grifters vs. the Anti-Grifting Agency”

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which protects consumers from financial fraud, was one of the hardest-hit agencies. With its investigative teams dismantled, critics argue that the purge is more about removing regulatory barriers than enhancing efficiency. “They just fired everyone investigating Big Tech,” said a former CFPB official, raising suspicions about corporate influence over the layoffs.

Fear and Surveillance in the Workplace

For those still employed, the atmosphere has turned dystopian. New electronic surveillance measures, including keystroke monitoring, webcam access, and badge tracking, have been implemented at multiple agencies. Many fear that these tactics are intended to justify further firings, creating an environment of paranoia and distrust.

What’s Next?

With more layoffs expected, the future of the federal workforce remains uncertain. Critics warn that the cuts are less about improving government efficiency and more about dismantling regulatory safeguards, potentially leaving the country vulnerable in critical areas like national security and consumer protection. As Trump and Musk push forward, federal employees brace for what’s next in this unprecedented purge.
