    Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.

    There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.

    Because of the union.

    That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.

    Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…

    Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.

      There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible, and trust me when I say I understand how they operate. The first trump admin made it easier to fire federal workers, and believe it or not, there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job. I’m “making an educated guess” that some of those people facing disciplinary actions took the option to resign because I’m telling you what I’m personally seeing.

        Yep, I’m not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there’s really not many of us

        But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.

        I’ve fired federal workers, it’s just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.

        Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.

        Not everything gets to the supreme court.
