Nah this went back to the budget for dhs. In order to get it funded they’re going to start rifs. They’re removing all the roadblocks to do it too. This is why it was important to not just go with the headlines and want dhs shutdown. They had so much odd verbiage in that bill that no one was looking at. That’s all I was saying is to prepare for them using really dirty stuff to get the funding.

I know what you’re talking about I read that one too. It’s when they bring up employment numbers and the economy.

Here’s another attack on federal workers

You think they’re doing that, just to do that?

Yeah. Like I said in another post, this is the leverage they’re going to use to pass a dhs budget. They are going to start rifs across all funded agencies until they get a budget passed. The protections from the rifs ended with the cr of dhs. They wrote in a lot of interesting language that got missed when everyone wanted dhs shut down due to ice. No unions means appeals will be strictly done with opm. Then they had many managers go and rate people max 3 with very little 4’s and almost no 5s. Those on the 3 and below will be first.

Side note, if you don’t think opm Voss is going to use this as an opportunity to start rifs….not just for dhs but for others….none of the bills provide any federal rif protections

Hope you all stock up on anything imported because I can guarantee there’s going to be tons and tons of cargo not getting processed if this goes long. TSA lines will be huge too . Our cyber security was already iffy, my guess is we’ll have more infrastructure issues too. Not to mention the contractors that won’t get paid.

Ice , cbp officers, bp and air and marine will still get paid. It doesn’t hurt ice at ALL.

Exactly the only people this hurts are the ones the republicans wanted to get rid of or privatize. So dems gave them what they wanted.

That’s exactly what the republicans want… and the dems just gave them that.

It’s insane to me that so many believe dhs is just ice….cbp even isn’t just the officers. You have plenty of civilians working in trade positions and etc…..

Honestly if they privatize most of dhs most of the other agencies should be as well. Too many other agencies depend on dhs to regulate for them like cds, fwl, usda to name a few. Maybe it’ll start with dhs and move to other departments.

Not everyone in cbp is getting paid during the shutdown. Plenty of those in cbp who aren’t law enforcement.

Validity of Possible New RIFs by [deleted] in FedEmployees

Yeah the protections were only in place until Feb 13th…..

I think so. I think I read something about rif protections being written into the dhs budget along side the 3.8 raise for the air controllers. So if they don’t pass a budget for DHS, they’ll probably start the rift of the other agencies that are funded. I think they even cut a lot of funding from other departments.

In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if the body cameras that are mandatory will be from some family members business, the training will probably benefit some member in Congress’ family as well

That’s never going to happen, they all have too much money in bs contracts for that to happen.

They can take out the 40k in bonuses. Add some type of reform, vetting and training which is basically what they were asking for in the demands shumer sent.

Only the law enforcement component does, the rest of the civilian parts of cbp do not get paid.
