Trump Administration Orders Fired Bureaucrats To Clear Out In 15 Minutes

Federal employees who spent years enjoying the perks of government work are being shown the door with no time to spare. The Trump administration has made it clear that the days of endless taxpayer-funded salaries are over, giving USAID employees mere minutes to gather their belongings and leave.

The agency, which has been effectively dismantled as part of a broader effort to reduce waste, issued a strict directive detailing the removal process. Former employees have been given only two days — February 27 and 28 — to access the Ronald Reagan Building under tight security. “Staff should arrive at the start of their time window, but no sooner, as early entry will not be granted,” the notice stated.

Security checkpoints will be in place to ensure that only personal property is removed. Before entering their former workspaces, employees must undergo screening and will be escorted by security staff. “Staff will be given approximately 15 minutes to complete this retrieval,” USAID warned, leaving no room for delay.

Adding to the administration’s no-nonsense approach, employees will not receive assistance in packing up. “Staff MUST bring their own boxes, bags, tape, and/or other containers,” the agency emphasized. Any items left behind will be stored by the General Services Administration, but with no guarantee of safekeeping.

This move follows the elimination of 1,600 USAID jobs and the placement of 4,200 employees on administrative leave. The agency, long accused of wasteful spending on foreign aid programs, is now being forced to face reality.

With this latest development, the Trump administration is proving that government jobs are not permanent entitlements. These workers now have the same challenge millions of Americans face — finding employment in the private sector.
