Rose, a 26-year-old employee at the Department of Energy, was abruptly terminated due to a new executive order from President Trump aimed at reducing the federal workforce. Her shock reflects a wider trend affecting many early-career federal employees, particularly those on probationary status. Established federal employees voiced their confusion, noting the unprecedented nature of such terminations. As the government pushes for reductions, it raises concerns about employee morale and stability, especially for new hires who are quickly dismissed without warning.
"People who've been in the federal government for 30, 40 years are like, 'We have never seen this before. This is unprecedented.'"
"DOE finds that your further employment would not be in the public interest," the letter read in part.
"I had to take a picture of the attachments, because I didn't have enough time to send them," she says.
Rose's termination is part of wider reductions in force targeting early-career federal workers, following an executive order by President Trump.
