Yes, most permanent job will stipulate a probation period in the contract, usually 6 months

Yep, just to make sure you can actually do the job and are not a completely a$$

scary though, the fact that they could drop you at any point.

Guy in here started getting ulcers and **** until he passed the date.Boss were pushing him fairly hard though.

good luck!
