President Trump formally moved to implement his plan for making it easier to fire federal workers in policy roles, signing an executive order moving them into a new class that critics say will be akin to political employees.
Schedule Policy/Career (P/C), an effort pushed under the first Trump administration as Schedule F, allows some 8,000 federal workers to be hired and fired like current political appointees, stripping workplace protections they would otherwise get under the Civil Service Reform Act.
An executive order signed by Trump on Wednesday seeks to move those workers into the new class, saying they would be “exempted from the adverse action procedures that make removals for poor performance or misconduct so difficult.”
“Consequently, employees with significant policy-making responsibilities can stay in their jobs for years even if they perform poorly, engage in misconduct, or are unwilling to advance Presidential policy across administrations, making their agencies less capable of delivering for the American people,” the White House wrote in a fact sheet describing those now in the schedule as having “at-will positions.”
Those positions are among the highest-ranking positions in government, with some 97 percent of these “reclassified” federal workers in so-called GS-15 roles, the top level on the government’s pay scale.
Federal worker unions called it a clear attack on employees and an attempt to intimidate federal workers who will now risk their jobs in reporting any malfeasance.

When did they become special?
When they unionized.
Ditto college professors with “tenure”.
GREAT
During JFK admin.
Absolutely correct!
The hogs must never have the authority to demand how much slop they are given.
Unions can kill businesses, governments are just businesses with a captive market.
Government unions ruined education and government.
Start the countdown on the court case for these “disgruntled” employees.
However given the experience and excellent administrative and people skills, the senior employees in question can be promoted to jobs where their skills are sorely needed for the good of the government.
The offices of Administrative Contingency Support development in lower Slobbovia have a desperate need for such expertise. TDY assignment to the jobs for say six or nine months is the order of the day.
And for my info, what ever became of the GS18 level
The DOD Civilian Unions are dying - I spent 24 years in uniform and had a couple working for me over the years and they were top-notch. Then I spent 15 years as a DOD Civilian employee and supervisor. During that time, I had cause to fire 2 of them - the process took close to 6 months for each. It’s about time to make it easier to separate the chaff from the wheat.
JFK’s EO 10988 and Nixon’s EO 11491.
That last one doesn’t get nearly enough attention.
This has made my week!
And then, fire 100% of them.
They can re-interview for their previous roles.
Most will not be re-hired.
Trump has shown how few “experts” there are in government by ignoring the entire state department in foreign affairs.
When Carter created the Senior Executive Service. It was supposed to be a group of senior executives who answered to the administration. Instead it became an alternative power center in government to oppose “regimes” trying to operate contrary to the interests of the SES.
If Federal employee workers unions were allowed by executive order, it would be one of Trump’s greatest benefits to the USA if he eliminates them by executive order.
“A federal judge today . . .”
This is not accurate. Those in the Senior Executive Service are Federal employees and get paid more than GS-15s.
“ When they unionized.”
Most of these upper-management people aren’t unionized. The problem is that it takes forever to fire anyone, no matter how incompetent she is. The paperwork and committee meetings that go up and down through levels and back and forth between departments mean that it often takes literally years to get rid of a loser. Many mid-management people just give up and let the person stay or transfer him to a new department instead of doing the right thing.
