[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What happens if there is a large percentage (50% or more) who take the federal buy out? All of those jobs just cease to exist? No work gets done at the federal level? Or is everything just optics and the work gets moved to federal contractor companies? That way Trump can say he reduced the federal workforce by 50% and his base is too stupid to realize all the work actually went to federal contractors. [/quote]

What will happen?

1. Will never happen as lawsuits will stop it.[/quote]

So. Much. This.

VERA and VISP are actually legal. This is an Elon Musk fever dream memo that does not bind the federal government and is not funded, has not gone through rule making, has no appropriations, etc. etc.

Also, my agency which right now has a great SES acting put out a “you have time, wait for guidance” email.  Also noted that some agency positions will likely not be included in the offer. That doesn’t surprise me. We are incredibly understaffed. I took a detail from my caseload with a year backlog to assist a caseload with an 18-24 month backlog.  We cannot retain qualified attorneys and it’s a niche area, so it takes 2 years to get up to minimally productive speed. More than half our hires quit in the first 2 years. All of which is to say, I wouldn’t be surprised if my position was excluded. Even if not, I have a ton of seniority and great performance evaluation and do bipartisan work that’s mandated by statute.

But if it comes to a RIF, I get 52 weeks plus health insurance. And that is actually guaranteed by statute.  You are going to have to RIF me.  Screw Mump. [/quote]

Yep. I am also a niche attorney in a section with a 2 yr backlog. LOL if Musk wants that to become 4 years … [/quote]
