Recently fired U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staff carry boxes with a message as they leave work and are applauded by former USAID staffers and supporters during a sendoff outside USAID offices in Washington, D.C., Feb. 21, 2025.
“Staff will be given approximately 15 minutes to complete this retrieval and must be finished removing items within their time slot only,” it continued.
The email included a timetable giving staffers a window in which they can collect their belongings based on their bureau or independent office. For some, the time frame is as long as an hour and a half. For others, it’s just half an hour.
