Trump signs executive order moving career federal workers into 'at will' roles

President Trump has signed an executive order that shifts many career federal workers, including top-level GS-15 officials, from a protected status to at-will roles. This means they can now be fired more easily without significant legal protections. This move is seen as a way to increase executive control over the federal workforce and streamline operations, but critics argue it could undermine the stability and expertise that tenured federal employees provide. The implications could lead to a more fluid, but potentially less stable, federal workforce.
