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.
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%
