IRS is canceling its layoff plans, rehiring, and rescinding DRP offers

The Internal Revenue Service is no longer planning to pursue layoffs as it seeks to rebuild parts of its workforce. The tax agency is now working to plug staffing holes with hiring, reassignments and rescinding the administration’s deferred resignation offer for some employees upon finding mission-critical staffing gaps.

The government just paid thousands of feds to sit at home for 7 months just to bring them back like nothing happened.
I did not vote for this.

That’s disappointing.

From my anecdotal perspective, the deferred resignation had an unintended consequence of appealing to the few actual productive employees bc they were confident in finding good work/better pay in the private sector. The 7 months gave them time to do it finally.
Whereas the typical leeches decided to hang onto the gov job bc they wouldn’t have the same ability to loaf outside of gov, and they knew it.

This is happening at several agencies and departments in the federal government right now.
Didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out blanket firing people and then buying out thousands including higher performers would affect actual services.

They're doing the same at NOAA/NWS, hiring (and likely rehiring) many they ran off. When all of that is said and done less than 100 people will have left those two agencies and most of them will have been early retirees.
Looks like the shock and awe approach was a disaster.

DOGE was a good idea but terrible execution. Trump missed on this one. They need to remove every person linked to Elon and replace them with their own. Can't trust Elon.

We did well for 7 months without them.
Don't listen to the bureaucrats they want to protect their own.

26k are gone.
They are not hiring 26k back.
They are also not hiring the 87k that were authorized.
Their numbers are, and will remain, down.

Same vile stuff when CONgress shuts down and ALL "non-essentials" go home for weeks of paid vacation ...

Speaking of...and this Karlton guy is impressive to say the least.

This thread is red meat to the resident commies.
They’re just twisting in the wind.
It’s actually quite fricking hilarious.
And you frickers are pitiful

Maybe there was some surefire super optimum way to figure out exactly what could be cut and what couldn't, but I'm not exactly sure what that would be looking at things from a historical perspective.
Disaster seems like a strong term here given where we are currently.
ONOZ, they had to hire back some folks!

Right wingers were cheering putting a 19 year old in charge of reshaping government agencies. He's a hero.
It was all theater. And it cost more than it "saved."

1000%. I know we all despise Federal employees here but they were always gnats on a big pile of shite. Entitlements passed by Congress has and will always be the real problem.
