Park Space

Probationary isn't permanent:

The first thing you need to know is that the employees being summarily let go are "probationary" employees--meaning that they have worked for the federal government for less than a year. If the safety and stability of the entire federal government depends on employees who were just hired, you have to wonder what the rest of the employees have been doing. These employees are being let go not because they are especially bad, but because firing people who are no longer probationary is nearly impossible. That is a bug, not a feature. In an idea world, you could reduce headcount by separating the wheat from the chaff, but our civil service laws prohibit doing anything rational, so the choice becomes ever-expanding government employment regardless of productivity or suboptimal personnel decisions. That isn't Trump's fault; it is the poor design of our civil service. In this particular case, we are supposed to believe that Yosemite Park's tourists are dependent on one employee--1200 square miles of particularly dangerous national park territory, and only one person who has worked there for 48 weeks has a key to open doors or gun safes. Uh, yeah, either that is a total lie, or everybody in charge should be summarily dismissed and checked for mental deficiencies.

Time to find another park...
