[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for people who took the DRP and VERA because they thought they would get RIFed.[/quote]

I’ve been saying all this time that DRP only made sense if you were ready to retire or very sure you would get RIFed AND had the ability to find a new job quickly (eg young probationaries with options and no roots put down or a very disfavored job like OMWI). Or just confident in other options being available and no longer wanting to be a fed - these are mainly the younger folk and the leadership that can transition to a law firm easily (from my agency).

Add to that the fact that DRP makes it hard to get or even seek a new job due to ethics issues and it all just seemed foolish unless you fall into one of those categories.

For everyone else, riding it out has made more sense.

My agency has not really acquitted itself that well during the transition, but at least it announced DRP 2 along with a statement that RIFs were not planned. So DRP and VERA are only being taken by those who can jump easily to new jobs or those close to retirement - and possibly a few who know they are on the Schedule F chopping block, but they tend to have more marketability too.
