No I think you’re correct. But it makes me sick to my stomach re: the probationary thing, and I suspect that even if I’m safe, there’s going to be a lot of fuckery to make the job unpleasant. The scum heritage dude that got OBM is on record as wanting federal workers to “live in a state of trauma”.

Anyhow, I’m mostly commenting in solidarity and because it makes me happier(?) to know that I’m not alone in the specific anxieties we’re discussing. I hate the position that you’re finding yourself in, and I’m hoping that what we’re discussing does not come to pass. Hang tough, as much as you can.
