Summary
President Donald Trump signed an executive order reclassifying approximately 8,000 senior federal workers into a new category (Schedule Policy/Career, formerly Schedule F) that strips them of job protections and makes them at-will employees who can be fired for any reason. The order targets senior career civil servants involved in policy decisions, and critics argue it politicizes the civil service by removing longstanding job protections.

· 3 pulledPresident Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday reclassifying about 8,000 senior federal workers and making it easier to fire them for any reason, despite criticism that the move would politicize the civil service.
The long-anticipated order finalizes the administration's push to extend at-will status to career civil servants, part of a broader effort to transform the federal workforce.
The new classification, Schedule Policy/Career — called Schedule F during Trump's first term — applies mostly to senior employees who deal directly with policy decisions.
