President Trump’s administration has started a mass firing of federal workers, particularly probationary employees, in an effort to restructure and streamline the government. The Office of Personnel Management advised agency leaders to dismiss probationary employees who have not yet gained full civil service protections, affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of workers. The probationary period is seen as a continuation of the job application process, not a guarantee of permanent employment. The OPM stated that agencies are taking independent action to support President Trump’s efforts to improve government efficiency. The exact number of employees being terminated is unclear, but it is part of broader efforts to make the federal government more effective in serving the American people. The situation is still evolving, so stay tuned for more updates on this developing story from NBC4 Washington’s investigative reporter Ted Oberg and NBC News’ politics reporter Megan Lebowitz.
