If people are RIFed there is a process for that. It will take time and people will get a legally required payout.

Yes but if there is a RIF most people would get less than the 8 months of paid leave.

And if you are retirement eligible you get no severance.

At the end of the day the fork deal is better for almost everyone except for those that have many years of service and are not yet retirement eligible

How is Severance Pay from RIF Calculated?
1 week of pay for each year of service (up to 10 years).
2 weeks of pay for each year of service beyond 10 years.
Additional 2.5% increase for every 3 months after age 40.
Capped at 52 weeks (1 year) of pay.

I hope they are paying you to write this. No one recommends taking the fork.

No because they can now get unemployment vs. the nothing they were going to get via the Fork after the CR ends.

That's $400 a week for unemployment vs. five weeks of full pay.

Most are not getting $400 and even if they are that’s less than a wage of $20k/year. I’d have rolled the dice on the former but it’s not the first time unions have screwed over employees.

My absolute favorite line from our agency’s Fork update. “We value your federal service and want you to have the best information possible in choosing whether to take this offer.” Hahahahaha—we value you, now leave!!

The people screwing over employees are the ones trying to fire us and illegally dismantle our agencies.

Exactly. What a moronic poster, that other one.

Looking forward to which deal? The one where you could take a nice vacation, start a second job, and definitely get paid? The one where you’d definitely get paid but definitely might have to probably work? The one where people accepted but then had it revoked because oops, they need you to round up immigrants?

Or was it the deal where you 100% would get paid unless you wouldn’t get paid. Unless Congress paid you, or something.

I’m just curious which “deal” they were looking forward to.

Pursuant to an order, it’s been extended. Contrary to reporting, not cancelled or blocked (the big word let hanging is YET).

Someone with sense drafting emails. Shocking.

Maybe Sullivan & Cromwell is on the job, seeing as how they are now representing Trump.

Thanks, I’m not even a fed. Just a NoVa local, following along because I’m pissed off on behalf of my friends and neighbors. Solidarity!

The terms of fork are much better than riff severance and being fired. Oh well I guess you'll show trump!

Right? I don’t even have a particularly long tenure but I’d get 28 weeks with a RIF - as a lump sum instead of contingent on anything. And I could look freely for any new job - which is really a massive issue since I would be trying to find something in the same industry that would almost certainly not be permitted under ethics rules.
