TY, fren -- truly appreciate that. I didn't take the deferred resignation offer (though I personally think it was a gracious one), and I'm in a good "spot" right now to sit and wait and see what happens over the next 6-12 months.
I actually think there's a very good chance that my organization has a good chance of not only being hit with RIFs...but also being closed down for good, with its mission/function redistributed to the other organizations that it serves. And that would mean severance pay for me, probably a better deal than the DR offer that just ended.
But that's just a gut feeling, and we'll see what happens. :) I do want to say for the record that fed gov't employment has been GREAT to me over the years...and in return, I've always tried to turn in my best performance. While there are a lot of bad apples...there are also a lot of GOOD, performing, caring fed gov't employees out there who I sincerely hope make the cut(s).

Exciting times

I'm hoping one of our guys doesn't get cut because he's only on his 10th month. We'll see.
