Executive Order on RIFs coming today

Anonymous
From Semafor:

The order directs agency heads to coordinate with DOGE to shrink the federal workforce and limit hiring to only “essential positions,” according to a White House fact sheet. Each agency will be ordered to “undertake plans for large-scale reductions in force,” the fact sheet says, and work to determine which agency functions are not required by law.

There are statute governing - but don’t think it requires affirmative Congressional action.

I hope he keeps losing his court battles.

He is an old dementia-riddled man. Time for him to hang up the orange makeup and call it a day.

You are wrong. Please be more careful in making pronouncements that are wrong and that others might rely upon.

Based on OPM's website (that has been in place for ages, not some "new" version of regs)...

The Agency's Right to Make RIF Decisions
Each agency has the right to decide what positions are abolished, whether a RIF is necessary, and when the RIF will take place. Once the agency makes these decisions, the retention regulations then determine which employee is actually reached for a RIF action.

That wouldn't fix this at this point.

Yes, RIFs are governed by specific statutes. They don’t just happen because a President arbitrarily orders them.

Not opining on the merits of your argument, but I would be wary of relying on anything on the OPM website at this point.
