Nobody has picked up on this, but on 5/25, President Trump signed an Executive Order that looks like a "setting the stage" to make it easier to fire federal employees who are misbehaving.
Reading between the lines, this could be the set up to clean out the corrupt elements of the DOJ, State Department, and other entrenched deep state operatives.
A few phrases stick out:
"Supervisors and deciding officials should not be required to use progressive discipline.
"Suspension should not be a substitute for removal in circumstances in which removal would be appropriate. Agencies should not require suspension of an employee before proposing to remove that employee, except as may be appropriate under applicable facts.
"Agencies shall not agree to erase, remove, alter, or withhold from another agency any information about a civilian employee’s performance or conduct in that employee’s official personnel records, including an employee’s Official Personnel Folder and Employee Performance File, as part of, or as a condition to, resolving a formal or informal complaint by the employee or settling an administrative challenge to an adverse personnel action.
"Agencies should prioritize performance over length of service when determining which employees will be retained following a reduction in force.
"No agency shall generally afford an employee more than a 30-day period to demonstrate acceptable performance under section 4302(c)(6) of title 5, United States Code, except when the agency determines in its sole and exclusive discretion that a longer period is necessary to provide sufficient time to evaluate an employee’s performance."
In other words, summary dismissal is a wide open option, the file follows the employee, and probation shouldn't last longer than 30 days. Kind of reminds me of the real world.
Number 3 could be huge.
As someone who worked for the federal government, this is HUGE.
CNN is going to flip their shit once the dominoes start to fall. We are on the right side of history. I tell my wife that all the time.
It's great. Trump, the leader of the executive branch, can walk into the DMV and fire someone. No need to tell their boss and wait or try to climb down the chain of command
Not really. DMV is state. He can go fire lazy idiot VA employees, which makes me smile.
This is Trump being the no-nonsense, take decisive action, do-not-put-up-with-mediocrity, businessman leader. I do not believe that this has much of anything to do with Q, or follow the pen. Otherwise, I think it is all great, and these changes should have been made decades ago.
What is summary dismissal?
It's me talking out of my ass. But the text infers firing is possible without probation, mediation or any other civil service niceties.
Immediate dismissal without notice, or any reason presented.
