[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How long do you think it will take for the cuts to start happening?

I love my job, work very hard, and always thought I would stay at my agency until retirement. I now face the prospect of losing my job in my late 50s... I can't afford to retire and know how hard it is to find a new job at my age.

It feels bleak.

I will be 47 in early December, have 26 years in the fed (at one of the targeted agencies), and have ten years until I am retirement eligible. Though at times I am frustrated by the bureaucracy at my agency, I am mostly content and planned to stay until retirement. With the uncertainty and not feeling up to the bs that it will entail, I am exploring viable options. I have zero desire to switch to private industry this late in my career. The best case for me is they give us two years head start on cuts, start making cuts in 2027, and then offer two years' salary to retire early. I would take that, run, and never look back.  [/quote]
