The Trump administration Friday continued its mass firing of thousands of probationary federal employees in an attempt to remove workers recently hired under the Biden administration and to cull the federal workforce.

The article from KTVZ discusses how Oregon's federal workforce was significantly impacted by former President Donald Trump's directive to fire thousands of probationary federal employees. This policy, aimed at removing employees deemed "poor performers," led to the termination of many workers across various federal agencies in Oregon. The firings were part of a broader initiative to streamline the federal workforce, but it has raised concerns about job security, the criteria for dismissal, and the potential politicization of the civil service. Critics argue that the process lacked transparency and fairness, potentially affecting morale and efficiency within federal agencies. The article highlights specific cases of Oregon employees who were let go, detailing their experiences and the broader implications for federal employment practices.
