On the back pages of the media a story IS playing out…..
Laid off Trump admin employye’s ARE being summonmed to return back to work….
Some will return….
Some will NOT….
Some are NOT covered by the Two recent Federal Judges ‘back to work’ orders….
Following several judges orders…
(All the way up to the Supreme Court …Trump is NOT IGNORING the Judges)
The Trump Admin is letting it’s Departmenmt and Agency heads bring back people in a acknowledgemmnet that they are following legal rulings that the DOGE/Musk centralized cuts wher illegal….
The rehirings are being reported quietly in the media….
The lay-offs COULD be done ALL over again if the Supreme Court sides with Trump on this….
The Trump administration appears to be preparing to comply with multiple court orders to quickly place tens of thousands of federal workers fired during their probationary periods, according to officials at three agencies briefed on the plans.
The recently hired, or in some cases recently promoted or transferred, employees will not immediately go back to their jobs, but instead be placed on paid administrative leave. The employees are impacted by two separate court rulings issued on Thursday, which could lead to different outcomes for different workers.
All told, more than 30,000 federal employees were fired in recent weeks after the Trump administration directed a mass purge of probationary staff. In the U.S. District Court for Northern California, Judge William Alsup issued an injunction on the firings and ordered employees at the departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury to be reinstated. Alsup directed agencies to act immediately and did not include a timeline for sunsetting the order.
Later on Thursday night, a second federal judge, based in Maryland, ordered probationary employees at 18 federal agencies to be reinstated by March 17, either to their jobs or to be placed on administrative leave. Employees at the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs, as well as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Environmental Protection Agency, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, General Services Administration, Small Business Administration and U.S. Agency for International Development are slated to rejoin the payroll….

USDA previously reinstated the 6,000 employees it fired after the Merit Systems Protection Board ordered it to do so, though those employees were also placed on administrative leave. MSPB’s order will expire next month, and plaintiffs in the federal court cases suggested the department was hoping to run out the clock on that ruling without ever placing the workers back into their duty stations.
Both federal judges and MSPB said the firings were unlawful as they did not consider employees’ performance or conduct and improperly relied on directives from the Office of Personnel Management….

Some will get other jobs….Believing their Government ‘HATES THEM’….
“The government hates us,” said Chmura, 28, who cleaned toilets and emptied trash cans at Yellowstone until the Trump administration fired him on Valentine’s Day. “I was originally putting up with it because I believed in the park’s mission, but I can’t go back to the anxiety of, ‘Am I fired or am I not?’”
He is one of thousands of government workers who federal judges determined this week were terminated illegally in the Trump administration’s haste to shrink the sprawling, 2.3-million-person bureaucracy. While labor unions hailed the rulings as victories, the practical implications for those caught up in the administration’s workforce purge highlight the limits of the court in quickly checking President Donald Trump’s power….

In sharp and resolute orders Thursday, both the California and Maryland judges ruled that those sweeping terminations were illegal on multiple grounds…

“Probationary employees are not at will, like people think of in the private sector,” said Kevin Owen, an attorney specializing in civil service law who has represented federal agencies and federal workers. “They have fewer civil service protections, but it’s not that they have no rights.”…

Shernice Mundell, 47, said she has spent the past month applying for unemployment benefits in D.C., scanning the internet for jobs and updating her résumé to attract private-sector employers after losing her job in the Office of Personnel Management.
Mundell, who also served in the Air Force, negotiated benefits for Postal Service workers for the agency. It was a job she had left a stable career at MedStar to do, seeking growth opportunities.
In her first few months, Mundell felt confident in her decision. Three months after she started, she was promoted to a job that paid her $69,000 per year, a $15,000 raise. Now her next mortgage payment is scheduled for April 1, and she is running out of savings.
As of Friday, the court rulings had not yet made a difference for people like Chmura, who, when he did check his messages, saw nothing from his former boss…..
