美国国务院发出1,353份裁员通知 连同自愿离职总减员近3,000人
2025年7月11日，美国国务院向1,353名驻美任职人员发出裁员通知，其中公务员1,107人、外交官246人。国务院位于美国首都华盛顿，这是国务卿 Marco Rubio（卢比奥）4月宣布的国务院重组计划落地的一步，连同自愿退休与辞职，总减员将接近3,000人。
国务院发给员工的内部通知称，减员经过审慎安排，针对的是非核心职能、重复或冗余的办公室，以及可大幅提升效率的岗位，目的是精简国内运作、聚焦外交优先事项。受影响的公务员将进入60天带薪行政休假后离职，外交官为120天；本轮裁员只涉及驻美任职人员。
国务院此前向国会通报的口径是裁员接近2,000人、连同自愿离职总减员约3,400人，7月11日修正为总减员接近3,000人。本稿采用修正后的口径。
重组还将使300多个办公室被撤销或合并。国务院在给员工的问答文件中表示，目前没有再进行下一轮裁员的计划。
这轮裁员此前因联邦地区法院的禁令暂停执行。美国最高法院7月8日推翻该禁令对国务院及多数主要联邦机构的适用后，裁员得以推进。美国外交人员协会（AFSA）公开反对这轮裁员，认为削减专业岗位将削弱美国。

State Department Issues 1,353 Layoff Notices, With Total Workforce Reduction Near 3,000
On July 11, 2025, the U.S. Department of State issued layoff notices to 1,353 U.S.-based employees, comprising 1,107 civil service employees and 246 foreign service officers. The Department, headquartered in Washington, D.C., carried out the step as part of the reorganization plan Secretary of State Marco Rubio had announced in April; including voluntary retirements and resignations, the total workforce reduction would approach 3,000.
An internal notice sent to the workforce said headcount reductions had been carefully tailored to affect non-core functions, duplicative or redundant offices, and offices where considerable efficiencies could be found, as the Department streamlined domestic operations to focus on diplomatic priorities. Affected civil servants would generally be on paid administrative leave for 60 days before separation, and foreign service officers for 120 days. Only U.S.-based employees were affected in this round.
The Department had earlier told lawmakers it expected to lay off closer to 2,000 employees and shed about 3,400 staff including voluntary departures; on July 11 it revised the total reduction to nearly 3,000, the figure used in this report.
The reorganization is also expected to result in more than 300 offices being eliminated or consolidated. In a frequently asked questions document provided to employees, the Department said it had no plans to conduct further reductions in force.
The layoffs had been paused by a district court injunction. After the Supreme Court on July 8 nullified that injunction as applied to the State Department and most major federal agencies, the reductions moved forward. The American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) publicly opposed the cuts, saying the elimination of specialized posts would weaken America.
