@Sumocat@mastodon.world"…in the U.S. government, probationary employees refer to new hires — as well as officials who recently moved or were promoted into new positions." — This means purging probationary employees from U.S. gov creates more probationary employees as the remaining workforce shifts to fill the gaps. Tuck this fact in your pocket for later.

@Sumocat
No. Probationary is a specific category. In this case related to how long you have been on the job. People who were not fired don't revert to that category.
@crosswalk No, they won’t revert, but many will become probationary when they assume new roles. Probationary status is about how long someone has been at *that* job, not on the job, and we’re seeing that to be the case with anecdotal claims.
