As I understand it, if a federal employee is promoted, they become probationary

Which means they can be fired without running afoul of civil service protections.
Sounds like a lot of promotions are coming for some lucky federal employees.

Used to be on probation for a year when first hired. Not sure on the transfer or promotion issue.

Exactly. I know people that took jobs at housing authorities and they were hired with 180 or something probation.
They hire people, use them to get through HUD inspections. Then some psycho supe fires them.
The most backwards POLITICAL shitshow IS HUD. A woman of color gets kickbacks for HVAC bids.
PROMOTE THEN FIRE THE NEXT DAY.

if they are promoted and than fired they have the right to go back to the job they had prior to the promotion.

I think firing all of the probationary hires is to eliminate the outgoing administrations efforts to embed people into certain, decision making positions before Biden left office.
Some of these new promotees would have purposely slowed and disrupted any attempts to change their office priorities.

Fire them all and restructure and hire back the good ones, do it fast or within the timeframe of their severance package. Only way to cut waste, they will not do it themselves.

If the job is similar to their previous job, previous service would typically nullify their probationary period.

To a point.
But, if they aren't working out in their new position, they have rights to return to their previous position. If they refuse to return to it, they can be removed.

I am 100% behind Trump with all the terminations. However, I do see a scenario where a great employee gets a promotion from good work, gets put on probation, and is fired by this mandate. I guess we take the good with the bad.

It is on new hires that haven't completed their 1 year probationary period.

Burn it all down and have an HR policy for these people that is consistent with what 90% of Americans in private sector jobs have.
It’s asinine that it’s this hard.

Read somewhere that almost all these probationary employees have 10-15 years of employment in the Federal Govt. Also that 64% have second jobs, 34% have full time second jobs.

What if after the promotion the previous position is eliminated?

If you're promoted or transfer to a new position, there's a one year probationary period.

I ended up leaving with only 1 week until my tenure. Didn’t care or try to delay my new job start date because I knew I’d never work for the government again.

2 year probationary employees are usually excepted service or hired under a unique CFR.
1 year probationary period are the most common for competitive service.
You can have tenure and lose it temporarily (i.e. revert back to probabtionary fir one year). Usually happens with supervisor roles or Direct hiring authority.
