Right to appeal in Federal government re probationary employees fired: https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/comments/1ik4fg2/probationary_federal_employees_your_appeal_rights/
The #MuskTrumpCabal is undermining U.S. geopolitical security, sabotaging the economy, crippling climate action, promoting fascism, decimating government capacity, & threatening Democracy all while harming so many individuals.
Some tools to help the last, such as for Feds fired in #BloodyThursday

We have laws to protect workers. Congress needs to stand up!
These terminations are illegal

It's not just the lawlessness at Justice -- the broad termination of patriotic civil servants is OBVIOUSLY FACIALLY illegal and must be opposed. #BloodyThursday

@blumenthal.senate.gov is one of the few Senate Democratic leaders right now. Note how he describes Trump's attempted #BloodyThursday mass firing of VA employees as a mere "recommendation." That's exactly right. #holdtheline

#BloodyThursday was preceded by the illegal attempted decapitation of the Merit Systems Protection Board with the illegal attempted firing of the MSPB chair Cathy Harris and demotion of vice chair Ray Limon. Harris is suing to keep her job. #holdtheline

One SBA employee who had two months left in their probationary period told Government Executive they received a termination notice on Friday that was unsigned and did not have official agency letterhead. “It was sketchy,” the employee said. “It didn’t seem legit.” The employee’s top-level management told them they had the day before submitted a plea to retain the employee, who had already gone through one performance review cycle and received nearly flawless scores. The staffer’s supervisor expressed shock over the letter, said they received no notice it was coming and told the employee not to take any official action to leave the agency, the employee said. On Monday, the employee received an email that the prior notices were sent in error. The employee said they were pleased with the correction, but the relief was short-lived. On Tuesday afternoon they received two more termination notices. One came at 3 p.m. and another two hours later. These were more official and signed. The notice said the employee was “not a fit” for the agency “and/or” had performance issues, though the worker had only received positive reviews.

Other than unsatisfactory performance or conduct (315.804) or pre-appointment conditions (315.805), no additional conditions, whether explicitly stated or implied, justify termination. Nowhere in these regulations does it state, nor even suggest, that an agency may discharge a probationary employee for “any reason.” Appeal Rights for Probationary Employees If you are terminated under 315.804 or 315.805, you have appeal rights under 5 CFR 315.806: Partisan Political Reasons – You may appeal your termination to the MSPB if you allege it was based on partisan political reasons (315.806(b)). (HINT: It will be.) Failure to Follow Procedure – If your termination was based on 315.805 (pre-appointment conditions) but the agency failed to follow the required procedures, you also have appeal rights under 315.806(c). Discrimination – You may appeal if your termination was based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, or disability (315.806(d)). If an agency attempts to justify your termination on politically motivated grounds, such as budget shifts, downsizing, presidential policy changes, or political retaliation, they are acting outside the authority granted by regulation. You have the right to appeal to the MSPB under 5 CFR 315.806. Reorganization and downsizing efforts are not “pre-appointment conditions,” so be prepared to challenge this aggressively.
you do have rights!
The #BloodyThursday attempted firings are illegal. No reporters should be describing them in any other way than "attempted."
