Some probationary employees were mistakenly fired after taking or attempting to take the “fork” offer.

The offer of deferred resignations was to many a guarantee of short-term financial security amid the tumult of massive cuts in the federal workforce.

The Post documented instances of such firings at several agencies, including the Education Department , the Small Business Administration and the Forest Service .

An OPM spokesperson said 75,000 employees accepted the deal, which the administration abruptly closed to participants on Feb. 12 .

At no point did any public communication from OPM state that probationary employees were ineligible.

At least one probationary employee has been fired twice, from a post at the Small Business Administration .
