[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know at least 5 pple -myself included- in a fed OGC who are taking the "Fork" offer. I will get "VERA" as well. The option is to go in 5 days/ week, as well as potentially be converted to schedule F and RIF'd with no severance, process, etc.

Our office in a couple of the practice areas is going to completely collapse.[/quote]

I call BS. 5 lawyers falling for this? No way. 
 [/quote]

My DH and I are both lawyers and we’re both taking it. We were planning to quit anyway, so taking this offer is just taking the chance that we’ll get something instead of the nothing we’d get when one normally resigns.[/quote]

What exactly are lawyers going to do in a post law country? Everything can be solved by AI and the tech sector.[/quote]

[b]Not really. As even OPM knows since they just exempted lawyers from the probationary termination reporting. [/b]

We aren’t post law yet. The administration needs lawyers to give a veneer of legality to what they’re doing, and a lot of lawyers will be working on the court challenges for years to come. [/quote]

Were they excluded because they’re going to be reclassified to have even fewer rights than a probationary employee and then mass fired?[/quote]

Probably, but they could have fired the ones on probation without having reclassified. [/quote]

I don’t think so.  Even if probationary, you still have to have cause to fire, I.e, poor work performance (see regs).  But once they convert all attorneys to schedule F, they are at will and cAn be fired for any reason (except unlawful reason bc black, old, etc).[/quote]
