Reduce the Federal Employment probationary period. 1 year is too long if Supervisors were doing their jobs.

1 year probationary period places new employees at a disadvantage, especially when Supervisors/Managers don't follow processes and procedures in documenting employee performance and with the constant reorganization of staff, leaves the new hire vulnerable to unfair firing on the basis of "probation". PMs should know within 90 to 180 days maximum if an employee is going to work out and not subject them from Federal employee "hazing" during the probationary period of 1 year, where they can be fired at any time with little to no recourse. Also Contractors who convert should have their service counted in the probationary period, at a minimum of 50% credit. You shouldn't be a contractor for 3 years, convert (for less pay) and then get fired 11 months into your probationary period.
