Upon his swearing-in, Donald Trump quickly issued several executive orders affecting federal employment, freezing non-military hiring and reinforcing a five-day return to office mandate for federal workers. The orders established the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), tasked with streamlining and reducing government workforce inefficiencies. Key directives included revising hiring processes to promote merit-based assessments and reinstating Schedule F, simplifying firing procedures for civil servants. However, these changes have faced challenges, including lawsuits concerning the legality of DOGE, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding federal employment policies.
Trump’s executive orders will impact federal workers and contractors significantly, including a freeze on hiring and mandates against remote work.
The establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency aims to address government inefficiencies, though it faces legal challenges regarding its creation.
