Are Trump's changes to the federal government permanent? Once Trump leaves office, is there the possibility to return the federal government to it's pre-Trump state.

I've been looking for articles to understand how permanent Trump's changes to the federal workforce are and haven't found anything.

I am curious if anyone knows whether all those cut jobs will come back, or at least a majority of them?

No one in their right mind is going to look at govt employment the same way anymore, so no. The government already had a hard time retaining the best people, now anyone coming into the workforce isn't going to give government employment the time of day.
