The EPA faced backlash after terminating hundreds of probationary employees via email on February 14, only to reverse some of those terminations five days later. An unsigned follow-up email apologized for the mistake and initiated the process to return seized EPA property. Employees expressed mixed feelings about the situation; while some were relieved, others felt anger and uncertainty about their roles, highlighting the emotional toll of miscommunication within federal employment settings.
On February 14, hundreds of Environmental Protection Agency staff were notified by email that they were being terminated. Five days later, the EPA emailed some of them to say they weren't being fired after all.
The unsigned email apologized 'for this inconvenience' and informed them that if they had already turned in EPA equipment like laptops and badges, their supervisors would help them get those items back.
