...from the attached paper...it's not as if no one has ever thought of this before...there are actual "5 CFR" regulations in place...

One of the biggest challenges facing Federal sector managers and supervisors is taking
swift action to manage employees who are not meeting performance expectations and not
contributing to agency goals. Managers and supervisors may not be making full use of
the many options to deal with employees with performance or conduct issues. Managers
and supervisors may take actions against employees, up to and including removal from
Federal employment, for job performance deficiencies and/or misconduct.
This guidance provides agency human resources offices, managers, and supervisors with
a broad overview of the different tools that can be used to manage employees’ job
performance and address unacceptable performance or misconduct. This overview of
authorities under title 5, United States Code, is not meant to be a comprehensive guide
that addresses every possible incident of misconduct or performance problems as each
situation will vary depending on the facts involved. Also, individual agencies may have
unique statutory authorities and guidelines for addressing misconduct or performance
problems. However, it does highlight the tools generally available to Executive Branch
managers and supervisors for addressing misconduct or performance problems. You
should consult with your human resources office to determine which tools are applicable
to your agency.

Basically, the Trump "Project 2025" crew doesn't want to 'waste time' respecting the rights of employees...and prefers an "Autocratic" approach. They are also lazy and ignorant of how our democracy works...which will end up biting them...especially in the Ballot Box.
