[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, as one of the people waiting to hear about my pre-freeze TO, I hope people will come back and let us know when they start hearing any news--good or bad. [/quote]

So far only State dept has issued public guidance and will still be in a hiring freeze.[/quote]

Any idea why?[/quote]

Not State, but we were told our agency will remain under a freeze too.  We expect budget cuts and have to submit a restructuring plan aimed at reducing staffing levels.  Until more is certain, no hiring.  We aren't going to bring people on board just to lay them off in a few months.[/quote]

Which agency?[/quote]

Not the PP, but same at my agency (smaller independent, frankly don't want to share the name as we're under the radar of most of the fed bashing by this WH). We know we have to cut somehow with the proposed FY18 budget, retirements might just be enough, but can't take the risk of filling open positions right now. Have TOs from January that we probably can't fill. My guess is the freeze will persist for awhile, unofficially or otherwise.[/quote]
