Summary

The Trump administration ordered federal agencies to lay off nearly all probationary employees, affecting potentially hundreds of thousands of workers.

This follows Trump’s executive order mandating large-scale workforce reductions. Elon Musk advocates for eliminating entire agencies.

Layoffs have already hit agencies like the VA and Education Department, sparking criticism.

Further deep cuts are planned, with hiring restricted to one for every four departures.
