[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m at an agency that could be a target to merge with a related agency. In cases like that, does a RIF policy apply across the board? Or does one agency get preference over the other?[/quote]

Nobody can answer this for you.  It really depends on the details of the merger.  But generally speaking:  Is Agency A has 200 employees in one specific category and Agency B has 100 in that category, and the result is a need for 200 employees, the lists get merged to 300 and the 100 with the least tenure get RIFed, regardless of original agency.

There is a LOT of nuance here though.[/quote]

Performance reviews and vet status matter too. But generally this is not the same as a corporate merger, where the larger of the two companies often is more likely to retain its employees. Even if you have a 50-employee agency merging with a 1,000-employee agency, the employees in both agencies have equal rights under the RIF process.

And in my experience with an agency merger a long time ago, we didn’t have any RIFs because we still had to do the same amount of work. The HR department in one agency can’t suddenly handle double workload, for example. [/quote]
