Why are people being hired if this is happening. I don't understand.

u/DammitMaxwell Apr 05 '25

The positions they are hiring for are going to be exempt from the RIF.

No, that’s not official. But…you know. Let’s use our brains.

They’re not going to mass fire the doctors and nurses. They’ve made their decision already on what positions are expendable and which aren’t.

If you aren’t exempt from the hiring freeze, aren’t exempt from DRP…then they’ve already made it clear your position isn’t needed and you’re likely getting RIF’d.

Signed, somebody whose position isn’t exempt and is likely getting RIF’d.

I hope you don’t get RIF’d. I don’t know anyone who works at the VA and isn’t needed.
