Summary

Thousands of probationary (new) federal workers fired during Trump’s workforce slashing have been reinstated by court order but remain on administrative leave while appeals continue.

Many employees, uncertain about their job status and pay, report poor communication from agencies. Some have received reinstatement notices, while others remain in the dark.

The government argues that full reinstatement poses logistical challenges, including onboarding and security clearance.

Workers express frustration over the chaotic process and fear further terminations.

    New is generous, a lot of these were employees that had worked for the federal government for years that recently took promotions. Those promotions were “new” appointments even though they’ve worked for years.

    Plus the admin is planning Reductions in Force so many of these workers will unfortunately be fired again.
