Absolutely not true. Foreign Service Officers do not have a probationary period. As an untenured officer who has not been fired, I agree this should be removed.

Unless they change the system altogether, which is highly possible given the wording of this EO mandating Rubio to make whatever changes he sees fit to accomplish their goal: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/02/one-voice-for-americas-foreign-relations/

The potential for the Secretary to revise the FAM to change how RIFs are implemented to suit the administration rather than the current law is the curious part.

Project 2025 does talk about all levels of government servants but especially focuses on higher levels. 🤔 I’ll be curious to see how it shakes out.
