[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember seeing guidance from OPM that furloughed employees could check their work email once a day (nominally to see if they had received a RIF notice) but now I can't find that guidance.  Does anyone have a link?[/quote]

Personally, I've been checking my email. There are so many unusual things going on for this shutdown that whatever was normal no longer applies. 
If needed, call your supervisor and ask if you can check your work email. [/quote]

+100 to this being an unusual shut down.  I'm not a Fed so pardon my ignorance, but on what basis are the RIFs being justified rn?  That part makes zero sense to me.[/quote]

On the basis that they want small government. Russel Vought, the OMB director and one of the people behind Project 2025, has been working towards this his entire adult life. The GOP bill is supposed to slash the State Department's funding by 84%!!! Other agencies are getting large cuts as well. So layoffs were coming anyway, because it's not possible to slash funding like this without kicking out large numbers of employees.

The threats of layoffs during the shutdown is just a cruel public relations game, because the White House was going to do them anyway. This is the real reason why Congress Democrats are not backing down.[/quote]
