Political appointees exempt from new performance evaluations
About this episode
The episode discusses the exclusion of political appointees from new performance evaluations implemented by the Trump administration.
The Trump administration's overhaul of federal employees' performance management won’t apply to political appointees. A memo from the Office of Personnel Management excludes all Schedule C and Schedule G appointees from the stricter performance metrics. OPM says political appointees are already at-will workers, so decisions on whether they should be kept or removed from their jobs do not depend on formal performance evaluations.
