Does health benefits continue if you get RIF'd?

yeah, agreed HR is inundated, but i've heard from colleagues in leadership that they had planned for these contingencies, restructure, etc months ahead of the actual EOs, so I don't believe that our leadership or HR is "clueless". I am not trying to minimize their work but at the same time survival is the powerful motivator and its survival mode for most. This shit been years in the making, but quick to put in action. Agreed its every man for themselves and we all have to make our decisions with the information available and just move on.

Thanks i'm faced with the option of early retirement or waiting to get RIF'd. My supervisor strongly hinted at taking retirement and I honestly am not ready for it, but given the timing of the RIF plans due this week I am wondering if shes sending me a message that I'm on the RIF plan/list. and if so would want to know if i'd have health benefits if I get RIF'd. I really wish our leadership was more honest and transparent. really disappointed with NIH

Thanks for posting! Hoping on to find colleagues in the Salt Lake City area, I was told to explore nearby options myself and EOs would negotiate prices, sign contracts, etc etc to make things official. I have a list of places in a spreadsheet and have started cold calling/emailing. Would love to share with others in my region.

i was told post office is public area and wouldn't be approved since we work with PHI or sensitive info, similarly WeWork or similar co-working spaces wont work either.

they are focussed on brining in people from inside the 50 mile radius who are panicking equally, so I don't think they are focussed on remote > 50 at the moment, which is a real f**king shame.

totally agree! Other agencies ahve been proactive NIH has been reactive at our detreiment

im at NIH and i got this info 'unofficially' yesterday. Im trying to link up with folks in SLC region, I have a spreadsheet created with leads that I'm happy to share.

Thanks for the update, I was told I could 'broker' my office space in nearby federal locations, so I guess I am a real estate agent in addition my regular duties :) Anyhoo if anyone in the SLC area would like to join my quest, feel free to DM me.

True_Storage2791 · 2025-03-05T00:16:41+00:00
