This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If it was one of those federal jobs with a 3 year probation then green text is probably unemployed now.

My thought as well... There is a small chance that it was for a private firm, but I imagine most jobs like this are government.

Even if it was private sector, eliminating this regulatory enforcement avenue lowers the demand for this kind of work, so it could affect people's jobs there as well.

No need for a contractor to sub-contract you to take soil samples if there's no regulations surrounding soil composition!
