CDC to lose one-tenth of workforce under Trump administration probationary job cuts
NEW YORK (AP) — Nearly 1,300 probationary employees at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — roughly one-tenth of the agency’s workforce — are being forced out under the Trump administration’s move to get rid of all probationary employees.
The Atlanta-based agency’s leadership was notified of the decision Friday morning. The verbal notice came from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in a meeting with CDC leaders, according to a federal official who was at the meeting. The official was not authorized to discuss it and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The affected employees are supposed to receive four weeks paid administrative leave, the official said, adding that it wasn’t clear when individual workers would receive notice.
HHS officials did not answer questions about the specifics of the layoffs. In an emailed statement, Andrew Nixon, the department’s director of communications, wrote: “HHS is following the Administration’s guidance and taking action to support the President’s broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government. This is to ensure that HHS better serves the American people at the highest and most efficient standard.”

You don't get a Federal job at the CDC without a lot of education and experience.
The people they are planning to get rid of may well be some of the most qualified people they now have as they are new and may have experience that others working there do not have.
What fools they are!
