Mass Firings Have Started At Several Federal Agencies
Mass firings have commenced across several federal agencies as part of President Donald Trump's initiative to significantly reduce the federal workforce. According to Newsweek, the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the U.S. General Services Administration, and the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) are among the affected agencies.
These actions follow a federal judge's decision to allow the administration's deferred resignation program to proceed, with about 75,000 employees accepting the offer to leave their jobs while still being paid through September.
The firings primarily target probationary employees, who lack the same job protections as other federal workers. Government Executive reports that the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) initially instructed agencies to compile lists of probationary employees, emphasizing their vulnerability to termination. However, OPM later advised agencies to dismiss only those deemed poor performers.
At the CFPB, termination notices were sent to all probationary staff as the agency faces potential closure under the leadership of Acting Director Russ Vought. The Small Business Administration also issued termination notices, although some were later retracted and then reissued.
The Trump administration's efforts to downsize the federal workforce include incentivizing early retirements and implementing a "deferred resignation program." President Trump has also issued an executive order requiring agencies to hire only one new employee for every four who leave, aiming for significant workforce reductions.
Legal challenges are anticipated as unions and employees contest the mass firings.
Oh Happy Days!
Or
Zip-de-dee-duu-daa, Zip-da-dee-daaa, my oh my what a wonderful day!
Aww, Gee Whiz, that's so sad.
Oh, well ...
Its only a start but it sure does feel good. They need to be joined by hundreds of thousands more fired bureaucrats.
It is ironic but President Clinton showed the way to reach out and touch “untouchable” union federal employees.
He did mass reorganizations—kinda a game of musical chairs—where all of the employees could apply for the new “chairs” but most of the old chairs and the tables were gone.
I’ve got a feeling that the only recourse the Rats have is civil unrest. You’ve seen their leaders moment violence in the media. I’m personally not worried but if you live in large population areas, I’d keep my head on a swivel.

From what I hear there are plenty of jobs available in the lettuce picking industry. So these people don’t need to worry about finding new employment.
I have a feeling hundreds of thousands of these employees don’t even exist. That’s part of the reason Elon wanted everyone to show up at the office.
lie = like
No doubt there’s some of that. Imagine how many people on Social Security don’t exist or have long since died.
After we went to direct deposit, my company would randomly pay by a real check twice a year to see who did NOT show up to get their money.
They caught quite a few people the first couple times who were in cahoots with someone in HR.
After that, they stopped having issues and have since stopped the twice a year live checks...
THIS IS WHAT FEELS BETTER:
NO UNION DUES BEING PAID TO THE UNIONS-—WHO ONLY DONATE TO FEM CANDIDATES
:) :) :) :) :) :)
HOW MUCH WILL THAT COMPANY SELL THAT TRUCK FOR???
WHEN KATRINA happened-—alot of payroll GHOST employees were uncovered.
My Dad lost his 35 year job at a steel plant when it closed. My brother was forced into early retirement when his bank closed his department. The hospital my sister worked at was closed (by government) and she needed to take another job at another hospital 50 minutes away. When I was 25 years old, I lost my first job when the corporation I worked for sold the division I worked for to a competitor.
WHY do government employees somehow believe they are protected from all change - when private sector Americans never are given, nor expect, such guarantees?
The irony here is that all these fired bureaucrats have zero work ethics and no skills. No one in the private sector will hire them.
That was a common audit procedure to test payroll.
I really enjoyed the hospital audits as I had full access to all personnel files and there were a lot of attractive nurses.... (I was single)
yay :)
“if you live in large population areas, I’d keep my head on a swivel.”
Always good advice.
