  • reinstate most fired probationary staff

    Judge orders Trump administration to reinstate most fired probationary
    staff

    Ruling by California judge applies to thousands of employees dismissed
    from six federal agencies

    A federal judge in California granted a preliminary injunction to
    reinstate thousands of fired probationary workers at federal agencies
    as part of a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Government
    Employees.

    The ruling by the judge William H Alsup in the US district court for
    the northern district of California applies to fired probationary
    employees at the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans
    Affairs, Department of Agriculture, Department of Energy, Department
    of the Interior and the Department of the Treasury.

    At least 30,000 probationary employees working for the federal
    government have been fired as part of the efforts of Donald Trump and
    Elon Musk's so-called "department of government efficiency" to slash
    the federal workforce and government expenditures.

    Many of the employees were fired with the cited reason being poor
    performance, though workers have disputed this based on positive
    performance evaluations.

    Alsup said it was a "lie" that the probationary workers who were fired
    had performance issues.

    Every one of those probationary staff is going to return to work long
    enough to find their next gig, and then get the F out.

    I would gladly "return to work" only to do absolutely FUCK_ALL while aggressively job searching and quitting as soon as I found something
    else. Eat a dick, Nazimusk.

    Second federal judge orders temporary reinstatement of thousands of probationary employees fired by the Trump administration
    ...
    ...
    The new temporary restraining order from Senior Judge James Bredar, an Obama-appointee, covers 18 agencies and will last two weeks, as a
    challenge to the terminations from Democratic state attorneys general
    moves forward.

    In one location, Kansas City, there are not enough local employment
    available.

    Yes, it's possible to move to another location and find employment, if
    a person can do it, but if married, that depends....

    Sure, I get it - that's what it's like to look for work. Maybe you
    have to move, maybe you have to change careers. But would you honestly
    just go back to work and say to yourself, "OK, problem solved. Back to
    doing whatever it is I used to do?"

    I personally wouldn't feel safe. So, thanks for the momentary
    reprieve/stay of execution. I'll be around as long as takes to find my
    next gig.

    In rural areas after high school, its common for these graduates to
    find work in larger cities
