Restoration of responsibility towards federal labor: Today, the personnel management office of President Donald J. Trump (OPM) has taken measures to implement the executive action of President Trump entitled “Restoration of responsibility for the influencing policies within the federal workforce”.
- The OPM has proposed a rule to modify the regulations of the public service in order to include calendar policy / career for career employees with a determination of important policies, the development of policies, the implementation of policies or confidential tasks.
- These employees will serve as unlimited employees, without access to unfavorable bulky procedures or appeals of action, reversing the regulations of the Biden administration which protected poor performance employees.
- Federal employees who implement these policies, such as border patrol agents or salary and time inspectors, will generally be excluded.
- This rule allows federal agencies to quickly withdraw employees from the roles of influence of policies for poor performance, poor conduct, corruption or subversion of presidential directives, without long procedural dumbbells.
- Planning politics / career stations remain career positions, filled with non -partisan and non -partisan hiring processes.
- These employees will retain their competitive status and will not be required to support the president personally or politically, but must faithfully put the law and administration policies.
- The OPM estimates that 50,000 positions will ultimately be transformed into politics / career, around 2% of the federal workforce.
- The proposed rule does not directly move the positions in the calendar policy / career. This will be done by a subsequent decree after a program of final rules.
Fixing a broken system: The proposed rule addresses the systemic problems in the federal responsibility of the workforce, attacking non-responsible federal employees and determining the policies that put their own interests before the American people.
- Federal employees point out that their agencies do not hold responsible employees:
- The investigation into the principles of merit shows that less than a quarter of federal employees believe that their agencies are effectively attacking bad artists.
- When they were asked what generally happens to bad artists in their work unit, the most common response of federal employees is that “remain in the work unit and continue to underperform”.
- This happens because the process of removing federal employees is long and difficult:
- The Government Accountability Office reports that it takes 6 months to a year to withdraw bad artists, even before calls.
- Only the two fifths of federal managers are convinced that they can withdraw employees who have committed seriously serious behavior.
- A quarter thinks they could remove an employee for poor performance in a critical element of his work.
- Non-liability allows corruption to vanish in agencies:
- For example, a recent audit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) revealed poor conduct by senior leaders, such as male supervisors put pressure on female subordinates for sexual favors in exchange for professional assistance.
- The FDIC has almost never seriously disciplined employees for such corrupt behavior. Not a single complaint with the agency’s anti-harassment program has resulted in withdrawal, or even demotion.
- Auditors found misconduct tolerated by the FDIC because the elimination process was too difficult to use.
- Some bureaucrats also use the protections that the system gives them to oppose presidential policies and impose their own preferences:
- Recent surveys asked the High Federal Employees of Washington, DC, which they would do if the president gave them a legal order which they considered a bad policy. A plurality said they would ignore order and do what they thought best.
- During the first lawyers for the Trump administration career in the Division of Civil Rights of the Ministry of Justice, would not help to welcome the University of Yale to racically discriminate against Asian and Caucasian candidates.
- In the president’s first mandate, career employees of the Ministry of Education would not help constructively to write major rules such as the rules of the title IX.
- An administrative judge of the equal employment opportunities commission (AJ) recently sent an email to the agency level indicating that the actor’s actor president (who was appointed by President Trump) was “not able to be our president, and even less a permit to practice law” and that the AJ would not implement the decrees of President Trump.
- Inexplicable bureaucracy mine democracy. For the government to be responsible before the American people, elected officials must be able to destroy career career policies and employees for their performance and conduct.
Vidain Le Marais: President Trump holds his promise to dismantle the deep state and recover our government from Washington’s corruption.
- During his first mandate, President Trump signed an executive decree to reclassify certain federal workers in roles related to policies as an employee of “Annex F”, allowing rapid responsibility for those who occupy influential positions.
- When President Biden took office, he revoked this decree, restoring the protections that protected inexplicable bureaucrats.
President Trump promised on the campaign track to restore this decree, a promise he held on his first day back to the post.
