Long policy speak. Is there a laymans version of this?
See #3
Layman’s version: “Government worker” used to be a term for someone who didn’t have to work much and couldn’t be fired. The president has, in a few of the documents posted to the whitehouse.gov website, made changes to policy’s effecting certain job classifications that would allow under performing workers to *gasp* lose their cushy government jobs!
Well of you want to drain the swamp this is a good start. This EO appears to only effect the upper management of agencies and not the vast majority of federal employees.
Its most basic effect will allow a new administration to affectedly clear the deck of previous appointees who don't support the new administrations goals and priorities and may work to undercut it.
Don’t know the jargon to be certain but it sounds like Civil Service job protections just were removed from a chunk of the deep swamp.
It puts the political appointees at risk. So many of these folks are just parked in an agency and are there to footdrag and fiddle with operations. Make the opposite party look bad.
Realtors throughout DC are salivating at the prospect of new inventory coming onto the market. /#humor
