No, they are either going to do numerous small RIFs or create a ton of narrow competitive areas where everyone is cut. That makes it so they don't have to rank anyone, do a retention list, or find a new position for you.
THIS. I don't think a single agency has asked folks to create a RIF resume. They aren't going to be following the old rules.
I can see them RIFing entire offices that they don't want out of the gate like they are doing currently. But I also believe there will be other offices that maybe they want to cut in half. A RIF would come in there, though it's anyone's guess as to whether they try to rewrite such rules.
Project 2025 calls for them to rewrite the RIF rules, although they certainly don't have time to do that before April.

In the event of large-scale RIFs, I seriously doubt they will follow internal regs.
It's interesting to look into - Commerce has theirs up but the page with specific info that would apply to my agency seems to have had most of the links deleted. Not encouraging. https://www.commerce.gov/hr/caps-operating-procedures-manual-ii-human-resources-systems
