What is being lost due to the recent probationary firings in key federal agencies?

A significant loss of institutional knowledge about how government has traditionally functioned is occurring with these firings. Many probationary employees being let go include people who switched roles or agencies but may have decades of federal government experience. Some are recent hires brought in during the Biden administration, while others are experienced workers with valuable expertise. These dismissals will severely impact agencies' day-to-day operations and create disincentives for future applicants to federal positions, disrupting continuity and efficiency across government departments.
