I heard from someone in upper management that plans are being drawn up to fire as many probationary attorneys as possible. If a manager even has the slightest concern about a probationary employee’s performance, they are to recommend that person for removal. Upper management is also aware that some judges will try to protect their attorneys. So, they’re planning to look at the scores and comments that probationary attorneys receive on each draft.

Many of the probationary employees are still in NATP training. Some went on production today. January was an all-new group. What about them?

And how do they plan to explain this to the veterans when the Board doesn’t hit its annual case goal?

Apparently, the Heritage Foundation is writing OPM memos (see Molly White on Twitter). So, we have a puppet (Trump)/shadow government (Project 2025 goons) at play. Def FOIAable now. Elon, Trump (no, he’s not immune to everything), & others are opening up massive liabilities for themselves. Can you imagine when they buy the building space to move agencies & end remote/telework & they & their friends are the owners. I know who I’m suing. The USA has become super corrupt. & these ghouls act as if they never leaving, which is probably their plan. Wake tf up, people. I hope management is not rolling over & negotiating with these fascist incel clowns. It’s past time the media & Congress step up. Where is the Union?

They'll just make up something about it being Biden's fault. And the MAGA folks will believe it.
