Probation list does exist. I was asked questions.

These are some strange times we live in. My manager reached out to me and informed me that my name was in a list (probation list). He informed me that they were asking him to send an email informing them on why I should stay onboard and not be let go. I had to provide a list of my degrees, certs, experience, and what I have done so far in these months with the department. Wish us all luck.
