[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m contemplating applying to Fed jobs. And I worked as a contractor and have friends still in the system, so understand everything that is going on right now.

I think Feds underestimate how ruthless the private sector is, especially nowadays. I would gladly take 40 hours work weeks and being able to take sick time/PTO without worrying that I’ll be first to be targeted for a laid off. [/quote]

Actually you will be the first one targeted for a layoff during your probationary period.  [/quote]

Yes, I understand. But there’s no arbitrary reasons behind it - the only people I know who were Feds that were let go were people who just started or worked in something explicitly DEIA. There is always layoffs in the private sector, just look that Meta is laying off 8% in May. That’s business as usual for them, whereas the federal layoffs were a big deal. [/quote]

You need to do more reading.  There are tons of feds that were in their probationary period that were arbitrarily fired and it wasnt just DEI.  There were even people that were probationary due to promotions that were fired.  [/quote]

That’s normal in the tech world. [/quote]
