00:00Federal employees recalled after Doge cuts.
00:03Hundreds of federal employees who lost their jobs in Elon Musk
00:06led Doge's cost-cutting drive are being asked to return to work.
00:10The General Services Administration has issued recall notices
00:13with report dates set for October 6th.
00:16The GSA, created in the 1940s to manage federal workplaces,
00:20was one of the main targets of the Department of Government efficiency,
00:24led by Musk.
00:25Thousands of employees left under buyout or early retirement programs
00:29while hundreds were dismissed.
00:31Ultimately, the outcome was the agency was left broken and understaffed,
00:35said Chad Becker, a former GSA official.
00:39They didn't have the people they needed to carry out basic functions.
00:42Doge pushed the GSA to cancel nearly half of its 7,500 federal leases
00:47and sell hundreds of government buildings,
00:50initially projecting $460 million in savings.
00:54Estimates were later reduced to $140 million.
00:57Problems arose as 131 leases expired while agencies still occupied the spaces
01:03and over 480 leases marked for termination were spared.
01:07Representative Greg Stanton argued there is no evidence the cuts delivered any savings.
01:12Instead, it's created costly confusion while undermining services taxpayers depend on.
01:17Other agencies, including the IRS, Labor Department, and National Park Service,
01:22have begun similar reinstatements.
01:25The Government Accountability Office is now investigating the GSA's workforce decisions
01:30and lease cancellations.
01:32With employees now being asked to return,
01:34the effort shows how far the cuts went
01:35and how difficult unwinding them has been for taxpayers.
