Definitely. I can see it happening. That would be great. They just need Trump tell them to do it.

2020 - Dems: I won't take Trump's vaccine! It was developed too fast, he cut corners, it hasn't been tested.
2021 - Pubs: I won't take the vaccine! It's got tracking devices in it! It will cause me to have a heart attack!

2022 - Dems: I bought a Tesla to save the environment!

2024 - Dems: Burn your Tesla's! Buying one is helping someone we don't like!
Pubs: (as you said) - Will likely be storming out to buy Tesla's now...

I actually believe he drives a BMW, only dudes who ride their bikes on highways could possibly think BMWs are cool and a flex, but it’s probably a 2011 325.

I think he’s physically incapable of admitting when he’s wrong, he spent days defending his position that there’s no possible chance that a promotion in any federal government job comes with a new probationary period, despite three first hand accounts just here on TNet were telling him the opposite.

One person gave the example of their relative who was "killing it" and got promoted in less than a year. They would still be in their original probationary period, and not a "new" one based on a promotion.

The other example was forest service or something to that effect and a promotion within the same service and the same dept no less, would not start a new probationary period. If someone changed from dept of energy to say the dept of transportation; a new probationary period may be requested by the hiring authority, but within the same dept is either a false statement or gross negligence by the hiring official.

The more you know.

there is a probationary period when certain workers switch positions, for example. It's a known fact. Period.

https://federalnewsnetwork.com/workforce-rightsgovernance/2025/02/what-are-the-rules-for-probationary-periods-and-federal-employees/

"If you're a new employee or supervisor in the Federal Government, you may have to complete a one-year probationary period. Some agencies may require a longer probationary period and other agencies may not require it at all."

Did you read your own linked article?

"Importantly, a probationary period is not limited only to new employees entering the federal workforce for the first time. Employees who move into the Senior Executive Service, for example, or those who take an extended break from working for the federal government before returning to work at an agency, will usually have to complete a one-year probationary period.

Supervisors usually only have to complete a probationary period if they change services or work completely out of their element (which is why I stated that if someone is promoted in their same dept or line of work and is in a probationary period then the hiring official really done them wrong on the RPA); which none of the TNet examples had proven. In fact, during RIF; supervisors that lose their position will usually bump a lower level out, and remain in the service.
