Trump administration directs agency heads to fire most probationary staff
Terminations should happen within two days, according to four people familiar with internal conversations.
One person familiar with the matter said some employees, such as those working on public safety and law enforcement issues, would be exempted, and agency heads could carve out others based on particular needs.
But agencies appeared to move quickly on Thursday to carry out the directive, according to interviews with dozens of federal employees and records obtained by The Washington Post. Thousands of workers were laid off in messages delivered through prerecorded videos and on group calls. Some were ordered to leave the building within 30 minutes. Others were told they would be formally fired by email, which never arrived.

OPM fires its own probationary period staff (US Office of Personnel Management)
Employees’ physical and IT system access was deactivated at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday. On-site staff were also asked to quickly exit the Office of Personnel Management’s premises.
On President Trump’s first day in office, OPM instructed agencies across government to collect names of probationary employees. Those workers typically were hired within the last one-to-two years, depending on their hiring mechanism. Agencies have since gathered lists of those employees and delivered them to OPM, and some subsequently sent notices to staff reminding them of their status and their vulnerability to rapid firings.
