Many people who work for the American government are leaving their jobs. Over 60,000 workers said yes to a special offer from President Trump's team. These workers make up a small part of the two million people who could take this deal.
People in Washington, D.C., are upset about these changes. They went outside to show they didn't like what was happening. The government offered workers money equal to eight months of pay if they stopped working. The office told workers who stayed that their jobs might not be safe.
Workers had until Thursday to decide whether to take the money and leave. But a special judge named George O'Toole Jr. said the government needed to wait, so he extended the workers' decision-making time. President Trump also made a new rule saying offices can only hire one new person after four people leave their jobs.
Some parts of the government won't change. The military can keep all its workers. Places that keep people safe, handle money, or deal with people coming into America can stay the same. But offices that do extra things the government doesn't need must lose more workers.
The leaders of each government office must talk to someone special before they can hire new people. This person leads a team that makes sure the government works well. President Trump signed these new rules on Tuesday because he wants fewer people working for the government.
