A California federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction reinstating approximately 30,000 probationary federal workers fired by various agencies, challenging the justification of poor performance. Judge William H. Alsup disputed claims those dismissed had performance issues, asserting that many had positive evaluations instead. The ruling also abolishes any guidance from the Office of Personnel Management regarding employee terminations, prompting further investigation into the appeal process for those fired. This decision is part of broader actions within the federal government to reduce workforce size, linked to previous policies by high-profile figures.
