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.
Wouldn’t that be 400 million? (400bil x 99.99%) Still a lot, and I could retire happily off that much for sure.
Mental arithmetic was never my strong point
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.

If someone dropped 40 million on me tomorrow I’d be happy to fuck off back to whatever rock I crawled out from under
i did 400,000,000,000 * 0.01 the second time i worked it out.
Not sure what i did to get 4.02 billion though
You’re calculating 1%. 0.01 is 1%. 0.0001 is 0.01%
