My husband’s small nasa center needs to let go 650-1000 employees. Even those that aren’t government employees and are contractors are in danger as projects are being cut. People can take the deferred resignation and give up their position or roll the dice and hope they don’t get laid off.
During a second round of the program, which closed at midnight Friday, 3,000 employees applied to leave the agency, Warner said, following the 870 employees that applied to leave during the first round.
What an odd, round number. No way this isn't made up.

NASA is dead
This is so sad

It's called a rounded number and it's totally normal in news reporting
It's normal to say a round number in the headline but report the actual figure in the body. Otherwise that's not reporting, it's hearsay.
