No, GS1500 series family (STEM major). But worry about reorganization or whatever reason, I am tired of drama.

why you started panicking for no reason? Chill, OP, and let the trouble come to you and don't go and find trouble.

Op wants to stir the pot.

I am not laid off yet, but would like to make a plan if I am RIFed. Job market is bad, not sure if I can find a job with similar paycheck, or how long will it take to get a job. I may need to be Uber Eat delivery for some time before find another job.

I am concerned about income source if suddenly laid off, since there are bills (mortgage, auto loan, etc).

Don't you have substantial savings after 15 years of work? If you lived pay to pay check with that long of steady employment, that's your own financial irresponsible choice.

Jeez you sound like an ass and probably are one. Plenty of us have money saved up and have never bothered looking up severance pay. Hope you have nice short life.

Who knows if this administration will follow the law, but employees should receive severance if they decline reassignment outside their geographic region.

That is not what happened for ERS when they moved it to Kansas City.

I know they were offered voluntary buyouts, but most should have been eligible for severance if they turned those buyouts down.

They had voluntary buyouts for those near retirement but that is all. There was no severance package for refusing to relocate.

What is the major difference between buyout and severance package? Which is better?

A buyout is probably $25k. Severance is like 6-12 months salary.

Severance is no more than 12 months salary, but the specific amount depends on your age and years of service.

The severance is not paid in a lump sum, you basically keep getting a paycheck until the amount runs out. If you take another federal job before the money runs out, you stop getting it.

That's not true. Severance was a part of the package. Along with ab ictap ctap letter.

Are you one of them? I am. If severance was offered it was so small to be not memorable. And I had been there for 10 years.

No this isn’t what I saw happen a decade ago. I don’t think that’s standard.

10 years of service, under 40 years old, would mean 10 weeks pay.

I think you got tricked into accepting voluntary separation (VSIP) rather than waiting for them to involuntarily separate you (severance).

None of this matters, guys, if you're on the new Schedule F. You will not get severance. I'm not sure why people aren't more focused on Schedule F.

There isn't schedule F yet and many of us aren't going to be moved to it.

Isn't Schedule F only for SES and high level policy-focused people?
