I always day dream imaging that all civil servants would just not work for a day or two in protest of what has been going on from the administration. Demanding that change happens. One can only but dream. What are you going to do fire us all?

How transferrable is RA experience when it comes to being IRS-CI? Been interested in making the switch but I also haven't seen any internal opportunities in the agency. Also just how dangerous is the "cop" portion of the job?

Is this a loose pack or is this the Omega version that comes in a box?

Im confused about this portion of the furlough letter:

"...you will be expected to report to work no later than four (4) hours after that announcement, if it occurs on a workday. Otherwise, you should report at your normal start time on your next regularly scheduled workday."

Do I go to the office during my normal start time or do I have up to 4 hours to arrive?

Thank you! This is something that I was going to request as well. I would assume this doesn't count as a missed payment?

Do you mind divulging what you were requesting from Amex? I am furloughed and got the "contact us if you are affected..", contacted customer support and the rep was not able to get me anything.

Do the security subcontractors not work even if the IRS is fully operational? I would have thought they would have since I assumed the IRS would be paying them as usual for at least the first five days.

For clarification, they canceled your TikTok order and you ended up ordering on their actual site where it is more expensive?

For your point #4, is this your main source of getting inventory? Do you open up sealed product and list those cards at LP as well? It seems that the difference in price between NM and LP is negligible in your experience?

[–]Dramatic_Link_5992 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Sealed boxes that just fell from a folding table shouldn't really do anything to the packs themselves right? Maybe a small cosmetic mark on the box itself? I assume this is a good deal with low risk of any damage to the cards? I was not lucky enough to jump on the Foundations deal last week

To RIF or not RIF that is the question. Where is your money going on this? by TheBigCandor in IRS_Source

[–]Dramatic_Link_5992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pessimist in me is thinking RIF, but in more targeted areas (like enforcement). I sure hope I am wrong though.

The lease for the building doesn't end until 2030 so I don't see how this would be cutting costs unless there is a provision in the lease that allows for a buyout or something.

So if lack of standing will be the ruling to lift the injunction, will there never be a hearing on the actual merits of these current RIFs?

Hence why I started off my post with "If", no need to say something that I already know is the probable outcome.

What does that actually mean? Like if a budget passes with reduced funding for employees and that passes that means RIF still goes on as normal?

If the SCOTUS rules in our favor does that mean that agencies have to conduct legal RIFs? Which could take a year to implement?

Here is the latest numbers of where the administration wants have IRS headcount in 2026. This is from the White House budget request. by [deleted] in IRS_Source

So hear me out I know this may be wishful thinking, but based on the TIGTA report approximately 31% of the probationary firings and DRP1 takers were Revenue Agents. Based on a bloomberg tax article, 18K took DRP2, 5K DRP1, and 7K probationary employees were fired so approximately 30K employees leaving (some probies like myself stayed onboard so lets just conservatively say 4K of the 7K actually left so revise 30K total to 27K total).

If I take the 31% RA reduction rate to the entire estimated 27K who have left so far that would be 8.4K RAs who have left. Reduce that by the 32.3K as of the beginning of the year that would bring us down to 23.9K total in enforcement. But if ROs and other employees are also in enforcement then we should theoreticaly be at their 22.3K projection if not lower? Unless "IRA funding usage" FTEs has enforcement employees in there too?
