The head of the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) abruptly resigned Tuesday, leaving a void atop a sprawling agency that oversees the federal workforce.
"OPM has received the resignation of OPM Director Dale Cabaniss and OPM Deputy Director Michael Rigas is Acting Director, Office of Personnel Management," an OPM spokesperson confirmed in a statement.
Cabaniss's departure was unexpected, according to sources familiar with the matter, and was believed to be related to internal conflicts.
She chafed at treatment by John McEntee, the 29-year-old head of the office, as well as Paul Dans, OPM’s White House liaison, Politico reported. McEntee rejoined the White House last month and has set about stocking the administration with officials loyal to President Trump and his agenda.
Politico reported that the White House's decision to hire a third college senior to a sensitive post also contributed to the tensions that preceded Cabaniss's resignation.
OPM is an independent agency tasked with overseeing millions of federal workers. The office handles human resources matters and oversees the civil service hiring processes.
Cabaniss has led OPM since September, when she was confirmed in a 54-38 vote. She replaced Jeff Pon, who was ousted by Trump last October after just seven months on the job amid a dispute over the office's powers.
Cabaniss previously served under former President George W. Bush as chairwoman of the Federal Labor Relations Authority, which oversees collective bargaining and disputes between agencies and workers, and has worked on civil service issues for two decades on the Senate Appropriations and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees.

” millions of federal workers.”
That’s the problem right there.
How many millions?
How many millions of retired federal workers?
How much do they make?
Ever heard of Dale Evans?
I still do
I did not enhance my personal self esteem by jumping on the anti Bush band wagon
Good news - OPM could use a serious house-cleaning.
Worst. Republican. president. ever
Even the GOP knows that. They never have him at their conventions. Unlike Reagan, who they couldn’t highlight enough
Even Herbert Hoover was invited to GOP national conventions. But not W , they know how despised he is
This nitwit was a deep stater who should have been gone when President Trump was elected. Good riddance.
I voted for Virgil Goode, not one of the two evils.
It takes a special kind of dirt bag to abandon their post at this time in history. Good riddance.
