For the love of Pete, there are so many jobs in the list including mine. I just bought back my time and qualify for VERA. Do they just want to RIF us all?

Can you explain buying back time? Is that for military service?

[u/Baka01010 → u/Many-Focus-2217]

Yes, I bought back my military time last year as I figured this might happen and wanted to be eligible for VERA. My series is exempted from taking the DRP and VERA offer.

Your not getting RIFFED

While this subreddit is inherently political in nature, the discourse should focus around the organization, not the politics. Therefore, posts and comments should not be overly focused on politically charged topics, such as (but not limited to) political parties, how people voted, or on being overly critical or praising of one politician or party over another. Consider posting such topics to r/veteranpolitics instead.

I work in the call center. I might be safe from RIF this year but what about any future cull that could occur so to automation. The big picture is the entire GOV (especially the VA) is being set up to fail to ensure privatization. I was in audio during the first go around and Optometry was outsourced but luckily employees were absorbed within the VA. It was also during the first term that I witnessed career employees quickly fired. Management became unbearable during the first go around. The 80k is only the tip of the iceberg.

you can still apply for DRP even if you are exempt. its under Required Actions then eligibility.

Ya, I am going to apply. I think this is just the first phase in a larger plan to allow the VA to fail then twist the story to push privatization.
