Government agencies told to make lists of underperforming workers

The Trump administration is trying to identify underperforming workers in the federal government. All federal departments and agencies have been ordered to provide lists of employees who are underperforming, as the administration seeks to shrink the workforce. Agencies have one month to submit names of every employee who has received less than a “fully successful” performance rating in the past three years. The memo also emphasized that the agencies report any obstacles to making sure they have “the ability to swiftly terminate poor performing employees who cannot or will not improve.”
