No poor performance | Federal oversight agency challenges Trump administration's mass firings

A federal watchdog has ruled that some of the Trump administration’s mass firings of probationary federal employees were unlawful, potentially paving the way for affected workers to reclaim their positions.

The Office of Special Counsel (OSC), which investigates federal personnel practices, issued a ruling involving six employees across multiple agencies. While the decision is limited to those cases, it could have broader implications for thousands of terminated workers.
