Public ManagerSummary: In U.S.A., individual federal agencies have grown or shrunk with changing circumstances, although the overall size of federal government employment has remained essentially constant. Large scale reductions-in-force (RIFs) have been avoided so far in recent agency reductions. However, with the expectations that major restructuring initiatives emerging from both the administration and the Congress will result in the elimination of large numbers of federal positions in many agencies, the prospect of RIFs in the future seems more likely. This article offers alternative premises and paradigms which could be applied to achieve needed downsizing in a less costly and disruptive way
