Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump signed a detailed executive order late Monday in the Oval Office that’s intended to make it easier to fire poor performers among the managerial ranks of the 2.3 million members of the career federal workforce.
The executive order (EO)—“Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce”—is expected to remove many of the civil service regulations and processes that currently make it a costly and time-consuming ordeal to remove a career employee.
