Is the fed.gov shutdown really a RIF trap?

I had never considered this, it's a brilliant tactic highlighted by American Thinker. RIF stands for Reduction in Force:

When agencies furlough employees for more than 30 calendar days or 22 discontinuous work days, they must use RIF procedures. An employee can be terminated or moved into an available position. The new position does not have to be at the same pay grade, but it does have to be within three grades or grade intervals of an employee’s current position. There can be a series of “bumping” that can go on as employees are placed in lower positions displacing employees in filled positions. Agencies must give employees 60 days notice before being terminated. In extreme circumstances, OPM can allow agencies to give as little as 30 days notice.

The Dems can choose:

1) Give Trump his wall money and keep their bureaucracy
2) Deny Trump his wall money and watch their bureaucracy get gutted via RIF

Let's block ads! (Why?)
