WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Layoffs are beginning Wednesday at the General Services Administration, the agency which manages the federal government's real estate portfolio, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The layoffs affect probationary employees, who are being called up individually and pressured into either resigning or face being put on leave and then terminated, the two people said.
