probationary employees
- costigan 2y agoIt hasn't been limited to probationary employees. Here's one example: https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-ban-renewing-senior-scientists-adds-assaults-its-house-research https://www.science.org/content/article/nih-ban-renewing-sen... Agencies have also been directed to make plans for "significant reductions". For example, EPA plans to cut 65%. Fish and Wildlife and the Bureau of Indian Affairs are preparing for up to 40%. These latter cuts haven't happened yet, but they're very likely.
- andreygrehov 2y agoThat's correct. It hasn't been limited to probationary employees only, but many are. Those who are not either aren't needed or will be rehired if operations cannot continue without them.

- anon84873628 2y agoIt's not just about the literal employee contracts. Telling all USAID workers to cease operations and come home within 30 days is still a "cut" even if they are still employed. Not hiring seasonal workers for national parks is a cut. Removing info from the CDC website is a cut. Cancelling the meeting on flu vaccines is a cut. It's a very hamfisted deliberate disruption of all operations and services. Which, again, can hardly be called "targeted" by any metric.
