What do you believe "probationary employees" means? What is their average tenure at the department?

  They are in the first year of employment.

    Is this actually the case? what about people who were promoted or moved positions? Is this the case for all federal jobs or can it be longer for some roles?

    No. They are in the first year of their current level/role. That may mean the first year of employment. It could also mean they were promoted.

      Correct. The majority are not promoted. If they are in the first year of their current level/role and have previous experience, they still haven't accumulated much institutional knowledge to make them indispensable. While experience helps, their impact in a new role is still developing, and their departure is less likely to disrupt operations significantly.
