"If these government workers refuse to advance the policy interests of the President, or are engaging in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job."

President Trump has said that the federal government will be making a new set of regulations for career government workers to hold them to high standards and classifying them as “schedule policy/career” employees, meaning they can be fired more easily. 

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Following my Day One Executive Order, the Office of Personnel Management will be issuing new Civil Service Regulations for career government employees. Moving forward, career government employees, working on policy matters, will be classified as “Schedule Policy/Career,” and will be held to the highest standards of conduct and performance.”



“If these government workers refuse to advance the policy interests of the President, or are engaging in corrupt behavior, they should no longer have a job. This is common sense, and will allow the federal government to finally be ‘run like a business.’ We must root out corruption and implement accountability in our Federal Workforce!” Trump added.

Axios reported that the new rule will make many federal workers akin to "at will" employees, and they will be more easily fired. 

When Trump assumed the White House in January, he signed an order that reinstated Schedule F, which reclassified tens of thousands of federal workers as the “at will” workers. Trump took action in his first term to establish Schedule F, but it was rescinded by former President Biden during his term in office. 

Schedule F could cover around 50,000 federal workers in the government, which is about 2 percent of the federal workforce. The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued a memo earlier this year to different agencies for them to come up with what workers would fall under Schedule F.
