@attyforfederalemployees: 🚨 Federal Employees: Let’s Talk About Probationary Periods 🚨 If you’re in your probationary period, this is the most important video you’ll watch today. With the administration reviewing federal employees, probationary employees are under the microscope—but here’s what you need to know to protect your career: 💡 What is the Probationary Period? • It’s a trial period: 1 year for competitive service, 2 years for excepted service. • During this time, your rights are limited—no MSPB appeal rights for terminations unless it’s for discrimination or retaliation. 💡 Why Surviving It Matters • Once you’re past probation, you gain critical protections like the ability to appeal adverse actions. • Right now, agencies are being asked to identify probationary employees for potential downsizing, so this period is more important than ever. 💡 What You Can Do ✅ Document everything: Feedback, performance, and incidents—keep records. ✅ Focus on performance: Show your value and meet expectations. ✅ Know your rights: Discrimination and whistleblower retaliation are still illegal, even during probation. You’ve worked hard to get here—let’s make sure you stay here. Follow me for updates, tips, and insights to navigate the challenges federal employees are facing. 💪 Together, we’ve got this. #FederalEmployees #ProbationaryPeriod #KnowYourRights #EmploymentLaw #SouthworthPC
