What is the Office of Personnel Management? Trump is relying on this agency to reshape government

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump’s new tool for reshaping the federal government is a relatively obscure agency, the Office of Personnel Management. Slugged “Fork in the Road,” the OPM email is officially a “deferred resignation offer.” Federal workers outside the military, immigration enforcement, national security and the U.S. The owner of Tesla and SpaceX, among other companies, tipped his hand by posting on X that the OPM offer provided the most benefits “legally allowed without Congress passing another appropriations bill.” He also posted that workers who accept the package can take a new job, something the OPM’s own breakdown of questions did not address. He also gave an order changing the name of the U.S. Digital Service — which handles tech issues — to the Department of Government Efficiency, Trump’s cost-cutting initiative known as DOGE.
