Briefly

The Trump administration is executing a government-wide reduction in workforce, focusing on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) where approximately 800 employees face termination. Layoffs primarily affect probationary staff, with over a thousand potential job cuts anticipated.

The communication about layoffs has been informal, complicating the process for those affected, who are considering legal routes post-termination.
