US President Donald Trump said on Friday his administration is set to change the employment classifications of tens of thousands of federal workers, a move governance experts say will make it easier to carry out more mass layoffs.
Trump said on social media that moving forward, career government employees that work on policy matters will be classified as “schedule policy/career.”
