Most places in the US are at-will employment, so in that sense most US employees are constantly in the “probationary” state.

I think what I was alluding to was that I'm not sure if they did any cuts in the LON office during their first layoff announcements due to potential labor laws as it relates to incoming folks.

With these rescinds, perhaps they are gearing up to do actual layoffs.
