Roughly 8,000 career federal employees were stripped of their civil service protections Wednesday by executive order

Trump is signs anything put in front of him. Project 2025 in action.

The edict marks the culmination of a years-long push to make it easier to fire federal employees in “policy-related” jobs by removing them from the federal government’s competitive service and placing them in a new job category, initially called Schedule F and now referred to as Schedule Policy/Career. Employees placed into the new schedule would no longer be able to challenge adverse personnel actions before the Merit Systems Protection Board, and whistleblower complaints filed by Schedule F employees would be investigated by their own agency, rather than the Office of Special Counsel.

Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order formally converting nearly 10,000 career federal workers into Schedule Policy/Career, making them effectively at-will employees. www.govexec.com/workforce/20...

5. When I was graduating from high school I was offered a federal entry level job at the FBI as a clerk

My Dad said don’t take it because of politics and you’d be at the will of presidential party. This was during the Nixon administration. I didn’t understand it then but now I get it. Who would want to work for the federal government that takes away worker protections ? You could be fired now if you are registered as a Democrat working in this administration.
