I don’t believe they touch new hires. Veterans are usually picked first. No worries, you will be fine.

I was laid off 13 months after I was hired. Department was outsourced and reduced in size. I didn't make the cut.
13 month since what?
I was laid off after 13 months.
It is fun to see the game if you are not too cash strapped. I would save every dollar you earn. Cause you are gonna need it. Don’t plan anything big: house, new car, baby. If you have rich parents, you can. Going through layoffs are going to be part of life experience now.

Oh, yes, they do lay off new hires. A guy in my department who was there less than a year was let go along with several veterans of 10+ years, and others who'd been there five years or less. It was all about the re-org. If you didn't fit in the new world, you were gone.
Seriously, it is the same everywhere. Does not matter if you are new hire or a veteran. At the least, the veterans get nice packages but new hires don't because of seniority.
If I were you, I look at the prospect of the group you are under and the potential for career growth instead of worrying being let go. After all, you need to keep a positive and optimistic mind to go to work instead if worrying about something you can't control.
What? They hire full time ? I only see people being hired on contract here at Kennedy
Lol yes they do! Someone on my team was there for 6 months!
Often, there is no rhyme or reason to it.
It's not true. If what you're working on is moved our canned you're going to be out of a job regardless. I've personally seen at least a few new college grads be let go, including one guy who was only on the job for a couple months
