The Trump administration has directed federal agencies to fire most trial period and probationary staff within two days. This decision targets many of the roughly 200,000 people hired by the federal government within the last two years.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has advised agencies to dismiss employees who are still within their probationary period, typically one or two years. This directive affects 200,000 probationary employees. Additionally, about 75,000 federal employees have accepted buyouts. In total, 275,000 federal employees are impacted by these measures.

Good start.

[Sirius Lee]

At least they don’t have to drive in to the office anymore for return to work. They should be happy.

Injunctive in 5, 4, 3..

[sauropod]

Well, there’s the 10% he was looking for.

275,000 plus however many in USAID and the Education Department and Government Services who have been fired is a good start but we will need to see AT LEAST four or five times as many fired bureaucrats a year from now.

Nice!

[equaviator]

Offer them incentives to move to Canada or maybe Greenland. Ice pick and shovel-ready jobs for Americans!

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

You beat me to it. I would say 200,000 is what the federal government needs in total.

[Recompennation]

Hopefully that includes the ,what was it, 80,000 irs gun toters that biteme had lined up against anyone opposing his regime.
“Punish yo enemy” .....
As puddy cat would say “despicable!

And now the Consultants. Terminate all Consultants.

These and other cutbacks are the normal thing to do hoping you do not have to file bankruptcy.

At least they don’t have to drive in to the office anymore for return to work. They should be happy.

The happy ones will be the people who don't have to fight them on I-95. That traffic is insane.

Didn’t a lot of this govt hiring boost Biden’s jobs reports in the last 2 years?

Still its sad for people who really did enjoy their jobs and looked forward to careers.

[LouAvul]

Smaller govt. I like it. It’s a good start and President Trump is just getting started. May God through Christ, protect and enable President Trump to accomplish much and needed good in America.

[GOPJ]

Winning.

This decision targets many of the roughly 200,000 people hired by the federal government within the last two years.

The real problem is the hordes of entrenched long-term employees that have become lazy and indolent over the years and are overly protected by civil service rules so it's so difficult to fire them to the point that supervisors aren't even willing to try.

This decision targets many of the roughly 200,000 people voters hired bribed by the federal government obama within the last two years.

Just call it Funemployment.

It’s a great term for people with jobs to use.

I’ve been there a couple times working in the private sector and while I don’t wish it on anyone, it’s necessary for the sake of our country. Hopefully these people have some marketable skills.
