Firings at the NSF included permanent employees who had already completed their one-year probationary period, as well as at-will workers.
The article from WIRED discusses a significant change at the National Science Foundation (NSF), where the Trump administration has decided to terminate the employment of 14 political appointees by February 2025.

The firings are intended to streamline operations and reduce political influence within the NSF, which is known for its nonpartisan approach to funding scientific research. The move has raised concerns among some scientists and policy experts about potential disruptions to the agency's work, especially given the timing close to the end of the administration's term. However, the NSF has assured that the transition will be managed to minimize impact on its operations and ongoing research projects.
