isn't it easier to fire contractors? why not start there?
Because the clock for the probationary hires was ticking and each day more and more would more or less "graduate" to the wild protection that civil service offers. Plus contractors can be fired sure but a lot of contracts would still have to be honored so it would be better to let them just run their course and run out (that would likely be September fwiw).
Good point
contracts can be cancelled
Depending on the language and factoring in these would be Biden Admin it’s highly unlikely
I mean you have to start somewhere.... one leads to a long term investment and the other.... well it doesnt lol
Yep and it is likely easier to add contractors back in when the next admin comes to power.

To be clear... I say cut the employees and the contractors... but I would start with the employees :)
