Co-President and fascist Elon "Dick" Musk's ready-fire-aim approach to mass firings of probationary Federal employees was temporarily halted by a Federal District judge yesterday. From the Associated Press:
"U.S. District Judge William Alsup ordered the Office of Personnel Management to inform certain federal agencies that it had no authority to order the firings of probationary employees, including at the Department of Defense.
'OPM does not have any authority whatsoever, under any statute in the history of the universe,' to hire or fire any employees but its own, Alsup said.
The complaint filed by five labor unions and five nonprofit organizations is among multiple lawsuits pushing back on the administration’s efforts to shrink a workforce that Trump has called bloated and sloppy. Thousands of probationary employees have already been fired, and his administration is now aiming at career officials with civil service protection." (our emphasis)
Musk and his young DOGE-bag acolytes apparently saw "probationary" as a pejorative term indicating bad performers, rather than it meaning that the employee has been with the Federal government for less than two years. OPM's communications going out to those employees falsely suggested they were being terminated due to poor performance. In fact, the stories of exceptional employees being fired over that falsehood are growing.
It's another monumental screw up led by the South African skipping dipshit megalomaniac, who has managed to fire ebola control workers at USAID, managers of the nuclear weapons stockpile at the Department of Energy, and recent FAA hires for radar and navigational maintenance, only to scramble to call them back to duty.
