WASHINGTON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - The U.S. government began firing hundreds of people at multiple agencies on Thursday as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk accelerate their purge of America's federal bureaucracy, union sources and employees familiar with the moves told Reuters. Termination emails have been sent in the past 48 hours to government workers, mostly recently hired employees still on probation, at the Department of Education, the Small Business Administration, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the General Services Administration, which manages many federal buildings.
It was not immediately clear how many domestic federal workers stood to lose their jobs in the first wave of layoffs. According to government data, about 280,000 civilian government workers were hired less than two years ago with most still on probation, which makes them easier to fire. All probationary staff at the Office of Personnel Management, the human resources arm for the U.S. government, were fired in a group call on Thursday and told to leave the agency's headquarters in Washington, two sources said.

“Musk team member enters IRS, raising fears of cuts at tax collecting agency“
That’s really gonna PO off the American tax payer/voter!
Incredible meltdown from USAID talking heads.
280,000 employees on their probationary period? That’s a good start, but the cuts have to run much deeper, especially with totally unnecessary agencies like the Dept of Education. I’ll bet when DOGE really looks around they will find dozens of agencies with overlapping or unnecessary duties.
Fire all of chuck schumer’s staff.
Blood Bath,Scorched Earth...
Utterly Devestated!

In the last year, all new hires are likely DEI hires. Very glad they are gone.

Hat Tip CFP
They are NOT federal “workers”.
They were federal government employees. The last thing they do is actual work, unless it’s to sabotage a Republican president.
Yup—DEI hires doing personnel/human resources work—the ultimate nightmare of any organization.
betcha Reuters USAID money was shut off, and they are rather upset.
Constitutes the majority of jobs created during the Biden administration.
I feel for those affected and their families. They were counting on this income. However, OBiden created this problem.
These people’s jobs were centered around LIMITING and PREVENTING freedoms and profits. Trump’s “America first” policies work to EXPAND freedoms and profits. There will be far more PRODUCTIVE private sector jobs for people who, you know, want to work.
Bye. The law does not guarantee you a job for life. Git over it. Sorry. It happens to us all. Did to me in my first job after I went to work after I retired from the Army. New guy goes first and the old timers git to stay. I got over it and quickly found a new, better, higher paying job, a week later. Too bad, so sad for my old law firm. They went under a year or two later. I went on and worked 14 years in the new job before leaving Seattle and coming back to saneville here in Sweet Home Alabama!!! We have been back here for 18 years in July, after I had been gone for 35 years, I came home to complete my journey which began when I was 18 and went into the Army before the Draft Board could nab me way back in 1970. Dang I am old.
0bama’s civilian army is finally being dismantled.
