[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The trouble with RIF is that you have to be sure that you would actually be RIFd. If they reassign you to a nearby place for example, then you wouldn't necessarily be RIFd, so you wouldn't be eligible for severance.[/quote]

True, but this means you still have a job!  I can't think of a situation in which I wouldn't rather be reassigned.  If I don't like the reassignment, I could still look for a job but would be doing so from a position of employment.[/quote]

If it were an unsustainable commute. There are definitely locations within the DC locality pay area that I cannot commute to.

But I'm rolling the dice on the RIF. The certainty of having pay and benefits for another 5 months is not worth the price of definitely being unemployed in 6 months.

And I got my first "position not being filled" response to a local government application today. It is only going to get worse. [/quote]

I think that’s the right call.  RIFs are very complicated, which means they will try to avoid them and they mess them up if they do them, giving you a chance of getting your job back through lawsuits.  Also, if you say you are likely to be riffed because of your shorter tenure, who knows if they will follow the rules.[/quote]
