After DOGE-era cuts, GSA resumes hiring, scrutinizes in-office attendance for employees

from The Federal Drive with Terry Gerton

The General Services Administration, a former hub of activity for the Department of Government Efficiency is looking to hire hundreds of employees after facing deep workforce cuts last year. The agency’s top leader is also taking on a second job as the acting head of the National Archives and Records Administration. And for its current workforce, GSA is asking employees to provide a daily check-in on where they’re working. For a look at all of this, we’re joined by Federal News Network’s Jory Heckman. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
