Returning after DRP

The blame lies entirely with an incompetent and recklessly cruel Administration for implementing the DRP in the first place. It was never lawful to offer people 6+ months of pay to do nothing and yet they did it anyway, all the while carrying it out with no care or any sense of structure or decency and insulting and decimating the workforce in the process. Now, it sounds like they are owning up to the reality that they can’t accomplish their missions without hiring more people and recognizing that it’s often the same people who left who are (surprise) the most qualified for getting the job done. This more recent development makes a heck of a lot more sense than than the DRP ever did, and if I were those agencies’ staff I would hope I’d be able to look past my frustration as water under the bridge and be able to see the upside to getting capable people to return.

Don’t worry. I blame everyone. But I have to wait until the election to voice my discontent since Feds can’t strike. I will likewise blame any DRP people who return.

Totally unhinged. Kinda glad I don’t ever have to work with people like you again.

Depends on who comes back! Some who are gone should stay gone, the cool ones are welcome back….need HH partners

We’re still in a hiring freeze and aren’t replacing the positions we lost. No one is coming back.

As for sticking you with so much work ... you realize bringing them back will help with that, right? Not bringing them back just to spite yourself is foolish.

Not to mention if the choice is between bringing back someone with experience that can hit the ground running vs. a brand new person that needs to be trained the DRP person should be easier to deal with than a brand new hire.
