Probably get a promotion

A Fed promotion means your newly promoted position is probationary means DOGE requiring you be fired. Elon/DOGE creating super smart work incentives!

Government workers don't get promotions on a whim.

They don’t normally get fired at random on a whim either. Nothing about this is normal.

Unless they just got a promotion (which puts them into a probationary period). In this case fired at random and promotion LITERALLY are tied together.
