The Trump administration’s attempts to drastically and rapidly reduce the federal workforce have led to internal chaos with some workers being informed they were mistakenly sent a termination email only to be then told they were actually fired.
First-year employees, known as probationary staff, at the Small Business Administration were told Monday that they were accidentally sent “draft” termination letters and assured the workers they were not fired. But then, on Tuesday, they were informed they were terminated, according to Bloomberg.
