Bloomberg reports:
About 20,000 IRS workers—roughly one-fifth of the agency—are taking the Trump administration’s second deferred resignation offer, according to a person familiar with the matter.
At least three high-level IRS officials have taken the deferred resignation offer, including acting commissioner Melanie Krause.
About 4,700 employees took the first deferred resignation offer. Most of the roughly 7,300 IRS probationary employees are also on administrative leave after the agency halted their return because of a favorable court ruling.

The word "decimate" originates from the Latin verb "decimāre," which meant "to take or offer a tenth part." This practice was used in ancient Roman military discipline, where, as a form of punishment, one out of every ten soldiers guilty of mutiny or cowardice would be killed by the remaining soldiers. The word "decem" in Latin means "ten," and the "decim-āre" verb is derived from it, indicating a tenth part.

I went to my local office yesterday. There used to be a staff of 12.
There is 1 now. Plus the security guy who scans you and pats you down.
