So... if DH receives this VERA/VSIP offer on Friday, what are we supposed to understand about his RIF risk? That he will almost certainly be RIFfed if he doesn't accept a buyout? That he's somewhere on the list to be RIFfed but we don't know where? Will everyone "targeted" be foolish to decline the buyout because they've just said that if you receive the offer, consider yourself "targeted"?

Is anyone going to make them? Might makes right these days, no?

It’s curious you all are being asked for all of this information. I’m not aware of other agencies asking for it.

Not the same thing but at my agency HR has been scrubbing our records and making sure all of the documentation is correct. I know they also did an audit of all the new people to see if any of them should be considered probationary (i.e. transfers from other agencies incorrectly classified as permanent).

This hasn't happened at the FDIC

Yes it has. I transferred from another agency to FDIC and have been asked for evaluations from my prior agency.

I transferred to the fdic too from another agency and was sent an email the other day asking for performance appraisals that weren’t supposedly in my personell file. Why are they asking for these? Is it part of the evaluation for being RIFed?

Presumably? It would just be helpful to know if this is happening agency-wide or only to targeted groups.

I think this is agency wide. It is just HR doing their due diligence since your performance evals play into the RIF calculation. They are just following OPM’s request.

Shouldn’t HR already have copies of prior evaluations? And I thought that RIF was based on tenure, not performance. -DP

Good question. I don’t even have copies of my old ones.
