Anybody know if gov employees, other than Temp hires, those on probation still or SrExec, are being fired by DOGE?
🧐 Research Wanted 🤔
I’m talking permanent employees who have not taken the buyout. DOGE is at daughter’s agency now. The scuttlebutt she’s getting as they will be fired via email. I just don’t think they can fire or layoff permanent employees. RIF them to new jobs or offer early retirement or buyouts but not just toss them in the streets. Anyone know what’s actually happening.
They have to follow federal law, a Riff is not automatically a new job,they have to apply for any open positions,and they get a preference over non govt employees of some type. If their are no open positions in their job category, they don't recive anything.....
Right now their is a hiring freeze,so they can only hire current govt employees. I have no idea what your daughter does,but if she expects a riff,she should move first to some agency that isn't getting cuts,now before everyone else.
I went thru 2 RIFs and was offered new jobs both times or either resign. Jobs can be offered from totally different states and you take them or resign. How I ended up in crappy DC. Kinda thought that it would still work that way.
I know some guys who got Riffed in California and moved to oklahoma,but it was the exact same job code. Right now I expect a surplus in many jobs....
It was many years ago, I may have forgot or never learned some details.
yea I don’t know how they’re doing it now. Hopefully not firing via email.
If they have have time in service, and depending on Boxes 23, 24 & 26 on your SF50 you can bump others/stay in your place. isnt it 30% knowledge in another series and you have right boxes checked on sf50, you can bump them too.
Time in service is the best protection against a riff. I assume a lot of job codes don't transfer well to other agency's. Also if your job code is very general,their would be a surplus in that.
Employees need to look closely at their own situation,and not just react to shit on X or facebook.
