Trump Abruptly Walks Back His Directive To Fire Thousands Of Federal Employees
www.huffpost.com
His administration is suddenly reversing course after a federal judge ruled that the mass firings of probationary workers were probably illegal.

Summary

Trump reversed his directive to fire thousands of probationary (newly-hired) federal employees after a judge ruled the mass terminations were likely illegal.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) clarified that agencies are not required to comply with previous instructions to fire employees who have held their jobs for a year or less. Instead, agencies have until September 13 to develop their own staffing reduction plans.

Some agencies, like the National Science Foundation (NSF), are now rehiring previously fired employees.

Federal labor unions have sued, arguing the firings violated procedural rules and congressional authority. The administration’s sudden reversal still leaves uncertainty about affected workers’ status.

    I swear to God he’s a BattleTech villain

    I can come up with no other plausible explanation for this level of incompetence

      plausible explanation for this level of incompetence

      Competence is irrelevant. He’s not here to “govern effectively”, he’s here to dismantle the U.S. and its allies and turn them into vassal states for the CCP, Putin Regime, the House of Saud, and any other authoritarian who wants in on the action.

      Wait wait wait! Innersphere or Clan? Not Comstar…

      Ah! The Word of Blake!

      All Word of Blake factions agreed on a few points. They decried ComStar and its members as heretics for defying the ancient doctrines claimed to be in the writings of Jerome Blake. They denounced as forgeries the recently discovered writings of Blake and mourned ComStar as being destroyed from within, claiming that salvation was only possible by fleeing from ComStar’s “corrupted vision” and joining the Word of Blake.

        I feel Word of Blake could work for the Trumpers but part of them seem similar to Katherine Steiner-Davion sycophants.

        As an aside, I always preferred House Davion in the Inner Sphere, however my first loves were the Warden Wolves and the Ghost Bears. Honorable mention to the Nova Cats and a hale shout-out to The Wolf’s Dragoons.
