What rationale is the Trump administration using to dismiss federal employees at the FAA?

The Trump administration is frequently using misconduct or poor performance as the rationale to dismiss federal employees, particularly those on probationary status. According to employment lawyers, this is essentially the only legal way to let go of new federal government employees, as they cannot simply be terminated without cause. Many affected workers are reportedly being given these reasons erroneously. The administration cannot simply declare they no longer need an employee; they must cite performance issues or misconduct to justify terminations. This approach has created frustration among workers who believe they are being unfairly dismissed under false pretenses.
