IRS lost 40% of IT staff, 80% of tech leaders in 'efficiency' shakeup

“Last year, we lost approximately 40 percent of the IT staff and nearly 80 percent of the execs.” — IRS CIO Kaschit Pandya

The agency that collects taxes from 330 million people just lost most of its tech leadership during tax season. Whatever goes wrong this year. Outages, delays, security gaps. It was chosen, not accidental.
