President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that creates a new category for federal workers called “Schedule G.” This will allow him to hire and fire employees who work on policy decisions or advocacy. This is the latest step in his administration’s push to change how the federal workforce operates and to give the president more control.
According to The Guardian, employees under Schedule G will be labeled as “non-career” positions, meaning they will likely lose their jobs when a new president takes office. The White House claims this new category will “make agencies run better, especially places like the Department of Veterans Affairs, by making it easier to fill important policy jobs.” They also say it will “break up the deep state and take back our government from corruption in Washington.”
