| There have been closings of offices like USAID but how were firings done at Ed or HHS? Were they by seniority vet preference etc? |

| No. They simply eliminated entire sections |

Everywhere? Or just HHS |

| Not normal RIFs at ED; they just eliminated whole offices or units. No “bump and retreat”—as a newer Fed, I have heard of it but never seen it. |

| I think it's too soon to tell. USAID was basically dismantled and they hate Ed and want to dismantle it too. HHS may be how it goes but they are just getting started, I don't think the sample size is large enough to draw conclusions. |

At my agency I have high seniority but my division is unpopular in new environment. Is there any way to evaluate if I can avoid RIF with my points or is the “whole division goes” likely the default? There must be someone privy to their agencies plans? Any examples? |

| Commerce announced the metric that will be used for RIFs. It’s heavily weighted toward performance, after veterans get their preference. |

So not seniority? I have high ratings but that seems like a deviation. |

| Supposedly at treasury they are asking people to upload RIF resumes. |

| They asked IRS to upload RIF resumes, but so far they have just cut entire sections. |

I think this to to lull people into thinking it will be normal, than rug-pull. |

| What's a RIF resume? Asking here because the fed I'm married to is too stressed to handle many more of my questions. |
