Scores of firings have begun at federal agencies, with terminations of probationary employees underway at the Department of Education and the Small Business Administration, federal employees and union sources told CNN on Wednesday.

The probationary employee firings mark the first from the Trump administration as President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency aim to dramatically shrink the federal workforce. Until now, federal employees across all government agencies had only been placed on paid administrative leave.

They sent letters to the wrong fycking people. This will definitely kill morale in the office.



Later Monday, the agency sent another email advising employees that the draft notice “was sent in error - and as such, it is not currently in effect.” The email continued: “If you are in receipt of the initial notice, your employment has not been terminated as was erroneously indicated in the initial notice.” Notices of termination were then sent to probationary employees the next day, according to the union representing the employees.

Unfortunate. But alot of these people were folks still in that probationary period. It's a bit easier to get rid of them. Until he submits an actual RIF to Congress and submits a plan on how it's going to process it's a whole nothing burger. Then the Rs that are for it will be cool until their state is in the cross hairs for job loss that they have to explain. Don't fall for the headline and read the actual article brehs.
