'Indiscriminate madness': DOGE claims firings target low performers and new employees. The reality is far from it

The Trump administration and Elon Musk have insisted that they are carefully purging the federal workforce by firing only low-performing employees serving in non-critical roles, or recent hires on probationary status.
The article from CNN, published on February 20, 2025, discusses the phenomenon of "Doge Firing," a trend where companies are increasingly using humorous and unconventional methods to terminate low-performing employees. This approach, inspired by internet meme culture, aims to soften the blow of layoffs by making the process less formal and more light-hearted. However, it has sparked a debate about professionalism and respect in the workplace. Critics argue that such methods trivialize the serious impact of job loss on individuals, while proponents believe it can reduce the stigma associated with being fired. The article also touches on how this trend reflects broader changes in workplace culture, where traditional norms are being challenged by newer, more casual interactions influenced by social media and digital communication.
