In its latest effort to weaken the federal workforce, the Trump administration issued a rule on Thursday that would shift an estimated 50,000 senior career staffers into a new category that would make them easier to fire.
The controversial rule allows agencies to reclassify federal employees involved in policy into at-will positions that don’t provide the same job protections that other career workers have. It will affect an estimated 2% of the federal workforce.
Don’t want to play by the rules? No problem. Just make new ones. Making America Great Again!
