CIA offers buyouts to entire workforce as it seeks to infuse 'renewed energy': report

Raw Story  

The CIA, America's decades-old civilian foreign intelligence service tasked with intelligence gathering around the world, joined other federal agencies Tuesday in offering buyouts — to its entire workforce, according to a report. The agency appears to be the first intelligence agency to tell workers they can take Elon Musk's signature buyouts, in which employees can take eight months of pay and benefits if they quit, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday night. You should not raise your hand.” A CIA spokeswoman told the paper the agency under new Director John Ratcliffe hopes to “infuse the agency with renewed energy.” An aide for Ratcliffe, meanwhile, said extending the buyout packages to his agency could open up paths for the CIA to become more aggressive — including spying on countries in the Western Hemisphere that aren't colloquially considered adversaries. The news comes days after the government’s human resources agency distributed a memo saying it would subject all federal workers to “enhanced standards of suitability and conduct” and warned of mass cuts.
