The Trump administration has initiated widespread layoffs targeting probationary workers across various federal agencies, including the Forest Service and the Department of Energy. The layoffs are part of a strategic effort to reduce federal spending and shrink government size. Probationary employees, commonly less than two years into their roles, were informed of their terminations via email, often with minimal prior notice. This has led to feelings of uncertainty and betrayal among those affected, as exemplified by personal accounts from recently terminated workers.
"I would have tried to log in on Tuesday morning and found out that I can't log in. No one's told me anything other than just sending me an email after hours."
"It's like watching the enemy advance and seeing that the next town over just got razed," a National Parks Service employee told BI.
