  • The CIA on Tuesday has become the first intelligence agency to offer buyouts to its entire workforce, The Wall Street Journal reported. The buyouts are reportedly the latest attempt by the Trump administration to slash federal spending and purge employees who did not align ideologically with the president.

The CIA is offering buyouts to its entire workforce as part of a significant restructuring effort aimed at modernizing the agency and adapting to new global challenges. This initiative, which includes both intelligence and support staff, is designed to streamline operations, reduce costs, and enhance efficiency. The buyout packages are part of a broader strategy to reshape the agency's workforce, focusing on attracting and retaining talent with skills in areas like cyber operations, data science, and advanced technology. This move comes amidst reports of budget constraints and the need to pivot towards emerging threats, including cyber warfare and technological espionage. The CIA's approach reflects a broader trend in government agencies to become leaner and more agile in response to evolving security landscapes.
