Drastic reorganization/Shake at DASH, Rubio lays off 1,300 employees

The State Department has begun laying off more than 1,300 people as part of a dramatic reorganization of the agency, international media report.

The layoffs will affect 1,107 civil service officials and 246 foreign service officials, according to an internal memo seen by CNN.

Employees will receive layoff notices via email, the announcement said.
