Thank you. I have a dear friend who is a probationary employee there. I want to be in the know so I can support her but want to avoid the "so are you fired?" texts and calls if I can

Well, when they find out that a lot of stuff is just plain broken in a few months, a crony of this administration will win the contract to privately bring back these services under a lucrative government contract $$$

Not if they were fired. Severance is for RIF.


Pretty sure they do. It's an involuntary separation

If you just got out of jail and you’re on probation, you shouldn’t be working for the government in the first place. -EM.

It is legal? They still need cause to fire many probationary employees. Know your rights and sue!


Yes - probastionary employees have rights and cannot just "be fired". They can appeal to the MSPB.
