Musk and Trump see all probationary employees as unnecessary, with DOGE failing to do any evaluations. This is not about saving money. It’s about dismantling government willy-nilly, with no regard for priorities or critical missions.

Reposted from The Washington Post

The Trump administration has directed defense agencies to turn over a list of their probationary employees by the end of Tuesday, with the expectation that many could be laid off as soon as this week.

But doesn't the fine print on most of these firings cite "poor performance". Someone "must have evaluated" them to override previous excellent performance ratings from their managers.

My son is a probationary meteorologist in a severely short staffed office. There is a hiring freeze. Two in that office will retire in two months. It will be too late by then. Doge doesn’t care.

Next they will get rid of Recruits for the Military because they are on probation

We need to set up a shadow government with those who have quit or have been fired.

It’s about starving the broad economy of the dollars we need to make our bank payments

We need to show up in numbers to the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, where Elon Musk has taken residence in the Secretary of War Suite.

These fascists need to see and hear that we're not putting up with all their corrupt bullshit.

Trump is going to build a bridge to Russia (no tolls) so that they can just walk the fuck over here.

All to war criminal Putin's advantage.

Putin has him by the short & curlies.

Isn’t Musk probationary still?

Serious question--aren't all DOGE employees probationary based on their limited tenure?

proving my point in 2016 - NO country should be run like a business

employees can lose wages
citizens can lose their lives

I wonder how much this includes Guard. I have a close family member on appointment at the pentagon. And has been for a handful of years. In his world, everything has been fine.

I really think they believe the probationary employees are somehow "on probation." Otherwise, you'd expect newly hired/promoted folk to be among top performers, being recently vetted.

Exactly. Yet most of the media heathers still try and discuss and report this as a case of "eliminating waste and fraud" when it is not it at all.

They are TRYING to dismantle the Fed. Government from within.

Just remember folks, it’s not DOGE that’s doing the layoffs, (nudge, nudge, wink wink.) It’s the agencies themselves (more nudge, nudging and wink winking.) https://bsky.app/profile/gopjesus.bsky.social/post/3liiaaccrfs27

Musk & Muskrats using ‘key word searches’ - zero understanding of agency/mission - path of least resistance/ max harm.

every harm - every crisis - every death belongs to
Trump & #Republicans
👿☠️

They're not just terminating them because the employees are probationary: supervisors are being told to terminate them for poor performance, which sounds like grounds for class action wrongful termination suits.
