A wise man once said "Winning."

The headline is misleading. The Court did not rule on the final merits. Rather, it stayed yet another "emergency injunctive relief" order from a Hawaiian judge, in which the judge, yet again, said "Before we even hear the merits of this lawsuit, we're going to just go ahead and assume you're going to win at trial and we're going to order the government to re-hire you until the actual trial."

The Supreme Court stayed that order, which means the federal "workers" are fired until some trial concludes that they must have Federal Jobs for Life.

The Supreme Court has halted an order by a superannuated, Clinton-appointed San Francisco judge that would have required the Trump administration to reinstate some 16,000 probationary employees it had fired from the Pentagon, the Treasury, and the Agriculture, Energy, Veterans Affairs, and Interior Departments.

The order places the reinstatement on hiatus until the Supreme Court has a chance to rule on the issue, but things look grim for the Resistance. The vote was 6-2, with only hardened anti-Trumpers Sotomayor and Jackson voting to sustain the judge's order.

Nine "non-profit" organizations sued to reinstate the "workers." Note that the workers themselves didn't sue.

I love that the "non-profits'" suit was thrown out for, get this, lack of standing.

This case originated in March when the Office of Personnel Management issued an order directing agencies to terminate workers in term or probationary status. Somehow, this case ended up in San Francisco, which only has the most tenuous connection to any of the agencies named in the suit; see Federal Judge Orders Trump to Rehire Thousands of Fired Federal Workers -- RedState. One might suspect that judge shopping was going on.
