[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There’s no end to the cruelty. RIFs announced but people are forced to wait over a weekend and possibly into Monday to find out and told they’ll need to work through what would have been their administrative leave period. It’s so insane. [/quote]

Work to do what.....if the administration is saying their roles are no longer needed ..?[/quote]

Apparently they are going to give us 60 days notice but make us work the entire time.[/quote]

Hold up a second...If they think your job is so important that you have to continue to do it for 60 days then how can they say your job is so unimportant that no one needs to do it 61 days?[/quote]
It’s about screwing over anyone who gets a new job and can’t wait out the 60 days. No severance for those people. People on admin leave have been told they can work another job, but they won’t allow that kindness now.

They know people will be scrambling and forced to take lower-paying work. In the ordinary situation, VSIP would be available during the RIF notice, and anyone who leaves before the RIF is executed could take it. It would still pay less than severance for many, but it would be better than nothing.

Under what HHS is rumored to be doing, people will be forced to gamble on whether to take a crappy job now and give up tens of thousands of dollars, or wait the entire RIF period and risk entering an even worse job market.[/quote]

Well that's definitely screwed up. I guess people could take the opportunity to use some sick leave and schedule any upcoming or deferred doctors, dental, eye doctor appointments during that time period. I think in most situations continuing to work those sixty days is better than quitting because severance is almost certainly a better deal unless someone is very new. They also continue to accrue additional annual leave that will be paid out post separation during that time. [/quote]
