What to know about the federal workforce under Trump

^{Published on 2025-02-13 07:00:41 - MSN}

Since President Donald Trump began his second term last month, he has focused on dramatically reducing the federal workforce at a breakneck pace.

The article from MSN discusses the significant changes and potential impacts on the federal workforce under a second Trump administration. It highlights Trump's previous term where he aimed to reduce the size of the federal government, often criticizing the bureaucracy and pushing for deregulation. Key points include Trump's plans to reintroduce Schedule F, an executive order that would reclassify many federal employees as at-will workers, making it easier to fire them. This move was intended to give the president more control over the bureaucracy but was met with legal challenges and opposition. The article also mentions Trump's intention to replace thousands of civil servants with loyalists, potentially affecting the nonpartisan nature of the federal workforce. Furthermore, it touches on the broader implications for policy implementation, government efficiency, and the morale of federal employees, noting that such changes could lead to a more politicized civil service, potentially undermining the stability and expertise within government agencies.
