    Wouldn't more time waiting be needed due to the compensation packages?

    I don't live in the US, so this is just asking.

      Yes.

      The severance packages were an immediate expense. A 10% workforce reduction should bring lower expenses in years to come.

      This is rage bait reporting.

        I'm not sure what the net workforce reduction will actually be on final tally. Some that were let go were re-hired or came back as contractors (generally higher $).

        The less tangible but important question is workforce efficiency. Government tends to have a lot of tribal knowledge not captured in written processes, or "if you need to do x you have to talk to y", and if y isn't there anymore will things get slower (as no one else knows how) or faster (as they were a roadblock).
