[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does a veteran with say 3 years jump over a non vet with 15 yrs? Trying to determine how much veteran preference matters. [/quote]

Within the same competitive area (however that’s defined), yes. The agency would have to RIF all non-vets in that area before they could touch someone with veterans preference for a RIF. Not all vets have that preference for a RIF though. [/quote]

Damn that’s scary. What about vets who were in a PIP last year and only have 3/5 ratings? I have several vets who I work with who shouldn’t be working for us (of course lots of wonderful vets too).

IMO performance should be #1[/quote]

Before the RIF they asked for the names of poor performers.  So that might happen before a RIF. Trump has said repeatedly he wants to keep good people and get rid of poor performers.  So given that they requested this info, it's hard to imagine they wouldn't do this prior to a RIF.  (Once you get into the formal RIF then you have a formal process with specified weightings to rank order employees.)[/quote]

Look, I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, but they've asked for lots of information that they seemingly do nothing with (including justifications for keeping thousands of probationary and term employees, who were all promptly fired regardless). They say lots of conflicting things, particularly because the way this initiative has been carried out has not been popular. Their number goal right now is to fire as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, before there is effective pushback from the courts and congress.  I would not expect good performance to help anyone. If they want your office gone, it's gone. That's how they're getting around burdensome RIF procedures.[/quote]
