Coming back when DRP ends

[Anonymous]

It was a gamble but the DRP folks made the right choice. Ten people had a nice 6 month paid vacation and will return in October. Most are almost 62 and will work till the 10% pension kicks in. A few are young and have not found another job yet. We are glad to have the staff but as a taxpayer???

How is it that they are coming back? Did they apply for open positions? Or have they been called back?

Not sure the exact procedure. Office called DRP staff and 10 said they would come back if allowed. It was approved.

Which agency?

I call troll. The DRP contracts forbade returning for a multi year blackout period. And there are statutes backing that part up.

DP - but not all signed the contracts. I didn't sign one.

My DRP contract did not have a blackout period for re-hiring. That being said my old agency is not re-hiring for the position I left, nor would I go back with this president in office.

I would never rehire a DRP person. I don’t begrudge them their free vacation, but it’s been a lot more work for the rest of us.

You're making a very broad comment when this only applies to a small group of people. There are also many that took the DRP that are sweating finding a new job because the market is much tougher than they thought it would be.

That might be but OP’s post might be a good sign for some
