My former company was as doing project for Microsoft. We had 50ish people working 17+ hours a day / 7 days a week to deliver an ambitious milestone. We delivered every bit of the contract and much more.

Because of some internal politics they ended up refusing to pay and cancel the project. There response for not paying the milestone was “sue us, lol”

50 people lost their jobs the next day

I am not sure that is really a RIF, but sounds like you guys needed better lawyers and milestone structure.

My strong recommendation is to never use an expediter unless you really value your time a LOT more than your money, but that’s a discussion for another thread.

I’ve consistently been the most correct poster on inflation, jobs, and GDP on this board for the last 4 years. In my job at a publicly traded S&P Traded 600 company, where there are standards,  I have been rewarded monthly with equity, options, wages and bonuses. I’ve proactively built workarounds to government regulations that your anti-Government fuerhers have commanded. Women’s health and fertility benefits to all affected is safely entrusted to me, Superman StassneyHorn. And I have consistently fisted you in your protruding starfish.

The next time you lament Republican policy, that you vote for, continue to look at the floor.

Hard for a small company with no money to fight Microsoft or anyone big beast. Just like it’s going to be impossible for a federal employee to sue the US govt for promised severance pay and pension.

Most likely the best workers would take the offer because they're confident they can find employment elsewhere. The worst of the worst are the ones who will stay. The people you mention who are mailing it in.

I've never heard of voluntary buyouts being a benefit from an efficiency standpoint. And as a citizen I only care about the efficiency. Personally I don't care about govt costs especially as I get older.

Expand  

The number of feds that retire each year is a bit more than 100k which is suspiciously close to the “5-10 percent” of the federal work force predicted by OPM to take this offer.  Assuming that doing so doesn’t fuck a pension and retirement benefits (not a given at all as actual agencies haven’t chimed in), my bet would be that the vast chunk of people who take this will be retirement eligible and have plans to do so soon.  DOGE will tout their efficiency in paying them to not work on the way out. 
 

There will also be a lot of lawsuits on this as the largest and best funded unions are licking their chops to go to town on this for anyone who feels they didn’t get what they were promised.  Which the taxpayer will pay to defend. There’s a good reason the government doesn’t do personnel actions by email subject line. 
 

Everyone will get a lesson in “tech founder” number cooking.

The bureaucracy needs to be scaled down. Eggs will get broken along the way. Some shit will suck. Deal with it. People in the private sector go through this every  couple years on average. Promises made wrt pensions should be kept. Outside of that it’s a generous package and if you don’t think so you are probably operating in an alternate .gov universe.

There is a circle K on Hayden Rd in Scottsdale AZ that has nothing but former Microsoft employees run the place while they develop their new “game changing” series . It’s at least 3 guys running this place who don’t need to work at all, but have a passion after being layed off. I loved them. You’d walk into this corner store and hear nothing but Halo stories/novels read over the speakers and you could talk to them for minutes on end and drink inside if you were bored.

Do you have any evidence that either offered a severance package or an exit incentive and then didn't pay it?  Certainly that would be easy to find for Elon.

This is completely win-win for the Trump Administration.

That's silly. RTO orders happened all over the place. Separation offers happen. RIFs might as well be a scheduled biennial event in certain industries. Most of us have been through the exact same things in our own lives.

When mass layoffs happen in business, there is usually** (OK, sometimes) a plausible business case as to why it's necessary, or how it will improve the organization. And, usually**, there is a rational basis in the methodology of selecting who is retained and who is terminated. No good business would just arbitrarily cut XY% of the workforce for the hell of it. Does anyone really believe these federal RIFs are going to improve the effectiveness of the government, at least towards the goals these agencies are intended to perform?

This is a naked attempt to degrade institutions that serve and protect the public, and redirect those institutions to instead protect corporations, oligarchs, and other large political donors.

Measured, informed, rational moves to improve efficiency make sense. This isn’t that.

We want these jobs staffed by true believers in our country, not sycophants whose allegiance is to an individual. But, you know this and are seeking to muddy the waters. Distraction.

Aaaand that’s one reason why allowing outside agencies to have access to government employee’s information is likely illegal.

To the topic, 28 weeks is a pretty generous package, better than most in the private sector would get. It's not gonna make sense for a lot of people, but for the younger folks I know of a few personally that will be able to jump to the private sector with ease. They were already heading that direction based on the RTO order without the juice of a severance package. I think you will see a short term brain drain of the most capable talent, esp younger talent that isn't near retirement.
