By terminating employees simply because they are the most vulnerable, the Trump administration has just thrown away our down payment on the future. Many of those who lost their jobs today were newer hires made in areas of great need for our government, including AI, cybersecurity, and technology.&nbsp;It is ultimately our country that will pay a heavy price for this arbitrary dismantling of the civil service.\u201d&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visit the Partnership\u2019s new <a href=\"https:\/\/ourpublicservice.org\/supporting-federal-employees-through-change\/#employees\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Federal Employee Resource Hub<\/a> for more information about how these policies may impact civil servants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the past 24 years, the nonpartisan, nonprofit Partnership for Public Service has been dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy.
