Career track after a year

[Anonymous]

As a fed how difficult is it to get moved to the career track after the year probationary period?

It should be automatic?

Right I mean how severe is the scrutiny in deciding whether to advance the person? Does it happen that anyone gets canned to avoid making them career? Just anxious. Love my job.

Why on earth would they do that? It’s so hard to hire people, why would they keep reliving the horror? Enjoy your job.

I’ve never heard of anyone let go at a year to avoid making them permanent. That’s bizarre OP.

I have fired feds within the first year, but it’s always been within the first few weeks / just really clear it was not a fit.

What happens when you are career? Why exactly is it better job security?

If you are meeting performance standards in your mid-year and end of year reviews, you should be fine. If you’re not, I would be mildly concerned.
