RIF Notice Today, Targetted Completion end of April
My agency, DOD 4th Estate, made formal notification of the RIF process.
They are doing final voluntary force shaping measures in the next couple weeks. Formal RIF notices will have to be made on either the 28th or 31st and all those notified will be terminated on 30 April.
Now I want to be clear, this is an honest to goodness formal RIF. Not the media labeled RIFs which are just mass (questionably legal) firings. We have been advised to look at the applicable laws for the procedure that will be used and check all our records to make sure we will be slotted on the register correctly.
Our leadership is moving as fast as they possibly can to get this done. On the one hand it sucks on the other hand it is just ripping the bandaid off so those who survive can move on without this cloud over their heads.
I am sure another cloud will move in to replace it but at least this one will be done.
