[quote=Anonymous]I would not leave the GS-15 in that situation. I might lateral within civil service to a different agency or office (e.g, for shorter commute or for less unpaid O/T, or more interesting work). Somewhere around age 45-50, age discrimination becomes very common in the private sector. Yes, age discrimination is illegal, but it also is nearly impossible to prove in court. It is common for commercial firms to have periodic layoffs and also common for many of the people laid off to be 45+ years old. At that age, finding a new job in the commercial sector can be very tough for anyone laid off. Commercial sector layoffs need not be "for cause" and there is no appeal process or seniority bumping protections - unlike the civil service. [/quote]
