DoD hiring freeze

We are still in a hiring freeze per AFPC. Also no step increases or bonuses. We've lost folks to the voluntary separation and had a few folks go back to airlines/135 simply because of the DOGE drama. These guys were already retired O-5s.

But I was awarded a meritorious step increase that has been delayed indefinitely by OPM.

The Department of Veterans Affairs said Monday that it will no longer be forced to conduct a large reduction in workforce, unlike several other federal agencies that were forced to make mass layoffs because of the Trump administration’s U.S. DOGE Service.

They're still on track to reduce by 30,000 folks though through retirements, attrition and slower/frozen hiring. Whether or not they should have reduced that much is certainly debatable but the way they went about it, so fast and haphazardly, I don't think was the right way to do it.

Boeing "cut" 10% of the workforce last year. What it actually amounted to was a lot of early retirements, and a few token folks who were probably already going to be fired, being terminated. Anything to give the "investors" and the BOD a chubbbbbb

False. I know people at OSD who have been RIF'd.

The 2 star may have been correct within his purview.

Messaging I’m getting from a 3 star command is that there are end strength reductions planned, but no plans for RIFs, as they either anticipate normal attrition will take them there before the deadlines.
I’m also fairly sure nobody is really talking forced RIFs for the nuclear weapons folks - also a 3 star command.

SES’s of course are a different case, along with Flag/General officers.

The other thing here is I’m pretty sure the EO doesn’t actually apply to DOD…somebody in the Pentagon was just convinced that DOD would do our own version of it.
So I don’t think the lawsuit ever applied - see the wholesale gutting of DOT&E a while back.
