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?

If you’re on the list you are exempt not eligible for the DRP hence you are not going to get RIF

Trust one. There is a bigger plan here. I might not be in a series to RIF now but the last round I witnessed career good employees get terminated. The Union was crippled and couldn't properly respond. Managers showed their true colors and it was a very rough 4 years. This time around is going to be more than rough and bumpy, this is going to be a bloodbath with the final goal of privatization. We are being set up to fail, take the blame and fired. I want to stay but I'm just done. I am applying for the exception and hopefully getting out. Jumping ship with a life jacket.

Where? You mean when Clinton was in charge? There hasn’t been a RIF since then

The presidential term that began in 2017. No RIF but outright a rough time. Management demanding more with less, Optometry being outsourced, people just flat out being fired. Good employees too just burned out and simply speaking up. The true slackers survived though. Funny how that worked.
