More than 1,100 employees at the Environmental Protection Agency received notice this week that they were deemed to be on probationary status and warning they could be fired immediately, according to an email obtained by CNN.Probationary employees receiving the email have been working at the agency for less than a year. The emails began to go out late on Wednesday afternoon, according to an EPA union official.The same message will be sent to other agency workforces, a White House official said. Across the U.S. government, the latest data shows there are more than 220,000 employees on probation.바카라 게임 웹사이트�As a probationary/trial period employee, the agency has the right to immediately terminate you pursuant to 5 CFR § 315.804,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the EPA email to probationary employees reads. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�The process for probationary removal is that you receive a notice of termination, and your employment is ended immediately.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�Each employee바카라 게임 웹사이트�s status will be determined individually,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the email adds.The email also spells out an appeals process employees can take to see if they are eligible for extra protection.The approach is similar to how Elon Musk, now a key Trump adviser, handled layoffs when he bought Twitter 바카라 게임 웹사이트� make a new email alias (in this case, notice@epa.gov) and then send mass termination letters to everyone on it.The U.S. Office of Personnel Management declined to comment, and the White House and EPA did not respond to requests for additional comment.The EPA union official said these probationary employees aren바카라 게임 웹사이트�t the same as at-will employees; they have less protection than tenured employees, but they have rights to appeal.The union official said EPA will have to make a finding as to every single probationary employee that is being let go 바카라 게임 웹사이트� either that their performance is poor or that they had a disciplinary issue. Veterans and those with tenure have extra layers of protection. Attorneys who work at the EPA and AFGE, the union representing a large number of EPA employees, are counseling people who are probationary employees on how to respond to these emails and waiting to see what further action is taken.The EPA emails come after the Office of Personnel Management sent a mass email to federal workers Tuesday night telling them if they resign now, they would be paid through Sept. 30 even though they likely wouldn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have to work, or could at least keep working remotely.The email specified that those who choose not to opt into the program 바카라 게임 웹사이트� referred to as a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�deferred resignation바카라 게임 웹사이트� offer 바카라 게임 웹사이트� can바카라 게임 웹사이트�t be given 바카라 게임 웹사이트�full assurance regarding the certainty바카라 게임 웹사이트� of their position or agency moving forward. It added that, should their job be eliminated, they 바카라 게임 웹사이트�will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The email, sent from a new government alias HR1@opm.gov, contained the subject line 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Fork in the Road,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the same subject line of an ultimatum message Musk sent to his employees at Twitter in 2022.Musk has made clear in recent months that a top priority for the Department of Government Efficiency, which he is helming, would be to rid the federal workforce of employees deemed as underperforming.Marie Owens Powell, president of the American Federation of Government Employees Council 238, said morale at EPA was suffering.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s bad, it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s probably the worst I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve ever seen,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�I바카라 게임 웹사이트�ve never seen anything like this. Literally every day, folks are afraid to turn their computers on. They don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t know what message will be coming out next.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Mass layoffs of probationary employees could disproportionately impact younger workers, said Rob Shriver, acting director of OPM under President Joe Biden.바카라 게임 웹사이트�There has been a longstanding struggle to get younger people interested in public service,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Shriver said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We worked hard to fix that, hiring roughly 13% more people under the age of 30 in 2024 than 2023. That progress could now be undone as these young people are going to be particularly affected by this.바카라 게임 웹사이트�
