Around 200 technologists have either resigned or been fired from GSA 's 18F division.

Around 90 technologists at 18F were fired via a surprise email that went out shortly before 1:00am ET on Saturday morning .

The group was in the middle of working on projects for agencies across government, including the IRS , the State Department , and the Department of Homeland Security .

GSA ’s Technology Transformation Services ( TTS ) formerly housed 18F.

Some employees have been reassigned to more public-facing projects like Login.gov and Cloud.gov .

In early February , young DOGE engineers, like Edward “Big Balls” Coristine , met with TTS workers.
