Hundreds of laid-off federal employees called back to work

Hundreds of laid-off federal employees are being called back to their jobs. Workers in the General Services Administration were given the chance to return to work after being laid-off during the Trump administration’s DOGE cuts earlier this year. The GSA manages government buildings and its workforce has been understaffed for months. Furthermore, the administration has walked back plans to slash its real estate portfolio. An official said because of understaffing and internal turmoil, 131 leases expired without the government actually vacating the properties.
