Of the more than 300 fired federal probationary employees surveyed by the network 27UNIHTED, 95% reported ongoing mental health effects, and 49% reported PTSD-like symptoms. The survey respondents had worked across 12 departments and 15 agencies before their termination during the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force. A federal judge ruled in September 2025 that the firings were unlawful but did not order reinstatement.
