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.

But especially stassney. 

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.

 While having “proactive” discussions with your daughters and wife who no longer view you with respect.

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. 

It was a few hundred dollars extra.

Why anyone on this board thinks Anastasia is nothing more than a high school drug dealer throwing adderal around is lost on the majority for his bats cause covid hysteria.

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.

I'd like to see a US Postal Service Skills challenge ala the Pro Bowl. Put it on TV. Timed obstacle course. German shepherds, porch pirates, cars parked on the curb blocking the mailbox.

Trim the fat then hire replacements.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about.

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.

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. 

Incredible time to post this.

The feds are the last major unionized workforce.  And the only thing they can get involved in is stuff like this. There will be  amazing lawsuits.

Not sure that is just like, but your point is well made.

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.

Anyone else immediately think “37 dicks? In a row?”

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.  

 

I mean I’m pretty sure you’re not a Helobius sock but some of your recent posts have given me pause.

It doesn’t mattter. They control the Supreme Court. Whatever rulings in govt workers favor will be shot down.

No one said anything about any of that shit. Shit's got to change. Establishment Ds and Rs had many chances over your lifetime to course correct. Now you get the clown that is just going to break things. And hopefully the world still revolves around it's axis. And if it doesn't hopefully something better comes along to replace it. 

You are the embodiment of every well off, Trump-voting friend that I've had over the past 9 years. 

"Who cares that he's a buffoon. He's the disruptor that's going to destroy the system [a system that has benefited them greatly, mind you], and something better will be built in its place because reasons."

While they sit back from afar and watch the incompetent chaos. A luxury they have since none of this shit affects them directly.

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.

They are intended to improve the effectiveness of "government" by eviscerating the federal government.

plus, install believers in the vacant positions who will refuse to quit until they die.
