    Those 2,145 employees, in turn, make up the bulk of the 2,694 civil staff who have agreed to leave NASA under a slate of offer

    Sounds like civil staff was top heavy and voluntary separation packages were offered. Those that accepted and NASA also agreed on would’ve been redundant (or close to it) positions already.

    If you couldn’t get your project properly funded and found out $400M a year goes to legacy senior civil staff, you’d want them gone too.
