WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Trump administration has introduced a new rule that could impact approximately 50,000 senior career staffers by shifting them into a new category that makes them easier to dismiss.
This rule allows federal agencies to reclassify employees involved in policy into at-will positions. These positions lack the job protections that other career workers enjoy.
The change is expected to affect an estimated 2% of the federal workforce.
This development highlights a significant shift in employment conditions for a portion of federal employees.
