Don't we all. When's the last time you got it from a politician? I haven't seen it in my lifetime. That's a serious question btw.I believe in accurate information up front.

It’s been a while and I sure am not seeing it now. Hence my earlier statement in regards to amount of trust folks are giving the current group of clowns.Don't we all. When's the last time you got it from a politician? I haven't seen it in my lifetime. That's a serious question btw.

Yep, we were told that even those who took the buyout were terminated effective immediately.I heard of a couple folks now that had taken the buyout because they were on probation and figured they might get fired if they didn’t take it. They got fired anyway. Hopefully that was a glitch in the database and not standard op.
Seems like something tailor made for a class action suit...Yep, we were told that even those who took the buyout were terminated effective immediately.
You know that 3 astronauts died on an Apollo 1 test flight, right?If you haven't read THE RIGHT STUFF, remedy that ASAP. There's a section called "The Lab Rats Revolt"; the astronauts had finally had enough of useless testing and wanted more control of the program. In the film, the confrontation took the form of "astronaut pilot" instead of "capsule occupant", steering options (which proved vital), and so on.

I don’t think that would universally apply though.If you signed the buyout contract, you waived the right to sue.
SS fixes itself in about 8 years with 25% cuts for all.Oh there is. Social security is the easy button. But itll never get reformed to either slash spending (increase age, means testing, decrease payouts) or increase revenues (remove cap, increase rate).
This.That is one of the many downsides of a union. Public service unions do not serve the public well.

Whats happening with the FS sucks. I dont disagree with the mission of cutting spending, but focusing on the govt employment as a cost thats important is like cutting an occasional soda out of your budget when you have a high interest payment on a platinum superduty.
If you signed the buyout contract, then have buyers remorse you wouldn’t be able to join a lawsuit after the fact.
Agree completely. But I also wouldn't put it past opm to try and pull one over on the folks that signed it in good faith and were subsequently fired. Its a clown show.I don’t think that would universally apply though.

However, if you signed the buyout contract as it was presented, were then terminated after you agreed to the terms, I fully believe one would have standing for a lawsuit. The contract was presented and signed in good faith, and then reneged upon. Therefore, the terms of the contract the employee agreed to would likely be null and void.
I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. I can’t imagine being in that situation. What a circus.
No one has signed the contract. They haven’t come out yet.If you signed the buyout contract, you waived the right to sue.
Please share your experiences with this.like most when unions are involved, my bet is that most of these that got axed are actually motivated and hard-working. The unions always manage to protect the lazy slobs who spend decades, hiding out
I’ll be shocked if the courts don’t find in favor of the employees.Fair point. We had copies of the contract a few weeks ago, but they have not been executed by anyone. That certainly leaves folks who replied "resign" and were subsequently terminated before executing the contract in a pickle. Clown show.
