So you can get promoted and then fired at any time for 1-2 years afterwards? Sounds like a shit setup. And maybe a way to easily purge people (outside of the Trump nonsense).

It is a shit setup. Don’t even get us started on the complete lack of protection you get outside of a government job when you switch from being hourly to salary. I am all for working hard and going above and beyond to get a job done. However it’s exploitation when my employer pays me for 40 hours of work a week but expects me to work 45 hours and justifies it by saying the expectation is pretty light considering other places.
