Federal workers are experiencing a sudden purge, led by the Trump administration and influenced by Elon Musk, targeting probationary employees. These terminations often come in insensitive ways, such as abrupt emails or pre-paid return labels for work equipment. Many of those terminated feel the process lacks compassion and clarity, leaving them confused about their benefits and next steps. Workers report having unanswered questions about health insurance, final paychecks, and retirement accounts. Overall, there's a pervasive sense that this strategy is meant to discourage others from federal employment.
"For many, the frenetic nature of the firings has left them confused — and even days later — without a full accounting of their termination."
"I feel like the cruelty is the point, if I am being honest," a federal worker, terminated on Thursday, told CNN.
