Until someone gets another hair up their butt out of the blue and takes it away again. For no reason.

Possibly, but more likely people will move on.

Yeah, just don’t organize your home, your schedule, your kids, or your life around any sort of stable expectation of benefits or work schedule. Like you can with visually every other job on earth, from garbage man to McDonald’s to doctors.

They might change it up on you arbitrarily, just to live a point. Sounds lovely!

RIFs are currently blocked by the courts. Depends on whether SC grants emergency stay on the preliminary injunction.

It seems like this means they are hoping to avoid significant further shrinkage. Whether they get the budget they ask for is a separate issue.

If they keep RTO, good luck with that.

No, shrinkage as in being forced to RIF people. If they get this budget and too many people leave, they’ll have the money to hire replacements.

And who will want to work under these conditions?

I assume you are the same person assuming everyone is going to quit.

Most people still, on the whole, feel like it is a good job, and I highly doubt we will have trouble hiring if there are openings.

I assume that the omission of the qualifier “good people” after the word “hiring” in your sentence above was intentional. As it should be. Bc it’s true.

No, we’ll still get tons of apps from people at other agencies who want that finreg pay bump. The’ll still be plenty of people who will have served their time in Biglaw and will be happy for the job. Maybe the number of qualified people per slot will go down somewhat, but you can only hire one person for one slot and I doubt there will be trouble finding good people.

You’re probably right. There’s a sucker born every minute.

But what will they include in their 5 bullets the first week? And how long until they’re eligible for ad hoc?

I wonder if the rockstar union will still give their hard sell presentation during orientation.

So sad and depressing to think about.

Nah, not suckers. Just people who have a semblance of perspective to recognize that, even if it isn’t as good a gig as it has been (and likely will again be eventually), it’s nowhere near the hellscape you describe and it’s better than lots of options out there.

i'm not sure how many times PA and division heads can say that the SEC is not recommending any RIFs before you hear it. The SEC proposed RIF plan is no RIF.

And of course no one can actually guarantee that means there will be no RIFs. Just that the next move on the chess board is the admins, not the SECs.

I do think it's far more likely that DOGE will cripple the remaining staff by cutting all contracting staff to the bone. Congrats, you keep your job and get a few other jobs to do as well.

We have a platform that they are testing in the cloud and in the meantime running in parallel on servers. No more parallel testing, hope it all works out!
