WASHINGTON – The State Department will start sending notices to members of its workforce impacted by the reorganization soon, the agency’s top official for management said on Thursday, as President Donald Trump‘s administration moves ahead with its plans to overhaul the U.S. diplomatic corps and cut jobs.
“Soon, the Department will be communicating to individuals affected by the reduction in force,” Deputy Secretary for Management and Resources Michael Rigas said in an email to the workforce.
“Once notifications have taken place, the Department will enter the final stage of its reorganization and focus its attention on delivering results-driven diplomacy,” Rigas said. MORE
