Summary

The Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that oversees illegal actions taken against federal workers, ruled that the mass firings of probationary federal workers (those in a trial period after being hired) are likely illegal.

The decision, affecting 6 cases, found that the terminations lacked individualized cause, violating federal rules.

OSC head Hampton Dellinger stated, “Firing probationary employees without individualized cause appears contrary to a reasonable reading of the law.”

This ruling could challenge the legality of nearly all such dismissals, opening the door for broader legal action.

    I will accept no less than 99.99% of his net worth.

      How about we chop him up into 10,000 pieces, and give you all but 1?

        Wouldn’t that be 400 million? (400bil x 99.99%) Still a lot, and I could retire happily off that much for sure.

            Hilariously I think you actually both did it wrong but it’s still a shitload of money that any reasonable individual could comfortably retire with. Billionaires have so much money that misplacing a few decimal places here and there hardly even matters.

            400,000,000,000 x .0001 = 40,000,000

            If someone dropped 40 million on me tomorrow I’d be happy to fuck off back to whatever rock I crawled out from under

                You’re calculating 1%. 0.01 is 1%. 0.0001 is 0.01%
