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. |
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. |
It was nowhere near that. |
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? |
Yes, and it will be awhile before it actually gets instituted. |
What’s your goal other than to process your anxiety out loud? Are you a fed? |
When they were implementing it at OMB last time, it covered down to people like IT and admin assistants. |
Do you recall if there was some particular focus they all had, e.g., policy, or just whole cloth categorization? |
Yes it was policy. |
