They claim 10k jobs, of which most are early retirement buy-outs, will save 1.8 billion dollars? So the average employee costs them 180k. I mean, I know Kennedy didn’t take a biology 101 course, but this is just stupid for a 4th grader with a piece of paper to do long multiplication. Their salaries are public information, and 180k is not even close (80k off) to the average.

I also factor that in, but in cushy government, the benefits are usually in the 25k range. It doesn’t scale endlessly with pay. Fed wouldn’t be on the extreme end of that, in my experience, it gets larger the lower the agency. Could just be my state taking care of employees well though.
And I’m sure they have a “mandate” for this.
