💥ATTENTION FEDS💥 All the termination letters going out that we've seen use "inadequate performance" as the reason for termination. SAVE YOUR PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS. Tell your friends who aren't on bluesky! Probationary employees can't be fired for "poor performance" if their performance is not poor

First page of the termination letter sent to probational staff. “performance has not been adequate” regardless of actual performance. Probationary doesn’t just mean new people. It’s also people who have been there for years but promoted to a new supervisory position within the past 12 months.
