If RIFs are executed to cut 30-70%, who is safe?

I heard a rumor that Vought's wife divorced him a couple years because she caught him being a bit too handsy with their oldest daughter. The newest DOGE turd fits in perfect with this administration.

Is there any solid evidence of this?

My agency is having a large number of retirements and resignations without any encouragement right now, lots of people leaving for private industry. We can no longer meet deadlines.

More overtime now maybe?

Overtime?? In the federal government?? I've never once seen it.

We too cannot meet our deadlines.

I was ineligible for the DRP 1.0 as mission critical. Unclear if I’d be eligible to VERA. The offer was really unclear for my component as to who qualified. But, I just hit 18/52. So, nope. They opened DRP 2.0 to my component for 24 hours this week and noted it was our only shot, since we are mission critical. I jumped on it… and was denied. As “mission critical” (“this is an unattended mailbox, there is no appeal.” Since they noted that we are ll MC in the offer, I guess they were just f—king around with us? Super funny guys)

So, since they won’t let me resign, I guess I’m safe? But, the intensity with which I wanted out was clarifying. It’s time to go. Two months ago, I would have thought that job security. was a good thing. But now? I have other options and It’s so incredibly toxic. I can’t do this much longer. Elmo wins. Voight wins. I’m out. I didn’t quit this week, because I’d just love it if I could be out with RIF pay. They get a few more weeks.

It would be the essence DOGE-y to deny me 5 months salary because I’m Mission Critical, and then RIF me and have to pay 12 months. As in, the least efficient thing possible. So, maybe there is still hope?

If you are RIF'd, they will offer you another "job" that's 2 grades lower and in a far off office (still in your commuting area though). If you don't accept that lovely "job", you won't get any more severance. I guarantee they will not be paying out severance to us.

Yep. I am not wishing for anyone to lose their jobs but as an experienced private sector veteran, corporations reduce their headcounts all the time for fiscal reasons and low performers are gently laid off. It's clear Trump is looking for a more resilient, nimble and efficient government and part of that has to be much greater flexibility to change the personnel as needs require rather than a system of institutional tenure that shuffles low performers from department to department.

OMG get over yourself please
Lots of us currently working for Feds are "experienced private sector veterans". Please shut it with letting us know how private industry works.
Also: Trump does not want a more nimble government. He wants what the oligarchs want, which is no government. That's because he's anti-American like his oligarch funders.
