They were going to fire them anyway, this is just an excuse. This is what MAGA voted for.

Things are going to get worse. I’m not advocating for political violence but I certainly understand the rationale, when you feel completely powerless, and you can point exactly to a person and say “you ruined my life”, it adds up to a situation where desperate people do desperate things.

There are RIF folks who will never recover financially.

I believe this is the real reason for the national guard in the nation’s capital.

Yep. And we'll end up paying the bill for all the security that these evil doers ask Trump for.

Only until they get fired or the administration changes. They don't keep their security detail once their fed job ends. Even if they do somehow keep it, Trump has set the precedent of pulling security details from members of the previous administration.

These people will reap what they sow, and I don't mean violence, just someday I hope they pay for this.

it's a formula based on years in service to a max of 52 weeks; but severance is paid out biweekly like salary and i don't think it would be paid out while the gov is shut down.

RIFs do not start immediately. I think 60 days later.

They just ensured that Virginia would change reliable to blue.

They have to layoff all the Democrats so they can replace them with MAGA. Trump said it outright, that the RIFs would only affect Democrats.

“ President Trump on Friday said the ongoing layoffs of furloughed federal workers amid the government shutdown will be “Democrat-oriented.”

“And it will be Democrat-oriented, because we figure, you know, they started this thing,” he said in the Oval Office about the firings and shutdown. “It’ll be a lot.” “

Trump has said in the recent past that RIFs will be in agencies that he believes to be Democratic priorities, like HHS. I think that's what he's trying to say here.

Were you recruited from Maga media ads?

I know people in Patent Office who were RIF’d. These are folks with PhDs.

I read somewhere that most were in regional offices, is that true?

my office was initially RIFed on 3/15/25. it's still not started due to legal challenges. so it'll be a while for this round of RIFs to actually start as well i'm pretty sure.

So it means it can be reversed before the 60 days is up? I just hope our fellow citizens who work for the Fed and are affected get their jobs back. This is a difficult country to live in without a job.
