When they were implementing it at OMB last time, it covered down to people like IT and admin assistants.
Do you recall if there was some particular focus they all had, e.g., policy, or just whole cloth categorization?


Yes it was policy.

What’s your goal other than to process your anxiety out loud? Are you a fed?

Yes, and it will be awhile before it actually gets instituted.

There isn't schedule F yet and many of us aren't going to be moved to it.

Who knows if this administration will follow the law, but employees should receive severance if they decline reassignment outside their geographic region.


That is not what happened for ERS when they moved it to Kansas City.


That's not true. Severance was a part of the package. Along with ab ictap ctap letter.


Are you one of them? I am. If severance was offered it was so small to be not memorable. And I had been there for 10 years.


10 years of service, under 40 years old, would mean 10 weeks pay.


It was nowhere near that.


I think you got tricked into accepting voluntary separation (VSIP) rather than waiting for them to involuntarily separate you (severance).

No this isn’t what I saw happen a decade ago. I don’t think that’s standard.

The severance is not paid in a lump sum, you basically keep getting a paycheck until the amount runs out. If you take another federal job before the money runs out, you stop getting it.

Severance is no more than 12 months salary, but the specific amount depends on your age and years of service.
