Alsup, a San Francisco-based appointee of President Bill Clinton, ordered the Defense, Treasury, Energy, Interior, Agriculture and Veterans Affairs departments to “immediately” offer all fired probationary employees their jobs back.

Keyword is offered their jobs back - the damage is already done and I'm sure plenty know their time would be limited and would merely move on to private sector (i.e. better paying) jobs.

some damage yes but this is big for limiting further firings.

That's assuming the private sector had sufficient jobs on offer to absorb the flood of suddenly available people in specialized disciplines.
