Trump Signs Executive Order to Fire Top Career Federal Managers More Quickly
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.
The new EO resurrects and makes multiple amendments to the controversial “Schedule F” EO Trump signed near the end of his first term in the White House. That EO was initiated by his Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director, Russ Vought, but it was issued too late to have any measurable impact on federal workers.
