This sounds super fake
My wife had a coworker Rif’d and is in the same situation. It is not fake, this is really happening to real people.
Sadly not. Super common, and the obvious result of RIFing everyone without a care for who does what or why. Strategy was apparently on the DEI forbidden words list.
These people have zero idea how the government works, they only operate on “loyalty.” Which is simply not having the audacity to speak up when something is profoundly stupid, lest it harm their ego. Everything else is scams inside of scams for personal benefit at the taxpayer’s expense.
The pattern repeats over and over. Hundreds of embarassing court cases, constant incompetence beyond anything rank and file government ever did before, blatant lies the only way to save face. Clowns elected by fools to spin up a circus to entertain them all while the crops rot in the fields, with no one willing to harvest them.
Yes, I don’t think you can be in limbo for more than the statutory 2-weeks notice period or some such.
Still, there’s going to be quite some extra cost associated with the heads-over-heels way in which contracts were cancelled.
Probably fake, but to be fair, the government isn’t exactly following the rules these days.
It’s in line with what I’ve heard. People have been commuting to work only to find that they can’t get in.
I can’t tell anymore.
Legally I think a resignation is valid upon delivery. CCing the new employer on a resignation email that specifies the effective date should solve your friend’s dilemma. OTOH if he continues to accept payments it would be an acknowledgement of continued employment - which the new employer wouldn’t know about but could be used by the previous employer if there’s ever any sort of legal dispute in which his exact end date is important.
I think the move would probably be to send the letter, begin new employment, and then set aside any further payments they receive from the job they resigned from for reimbursement. On the other hand, have fun with the nightmare of returning the funds to the FDA, and also tax season and…yeah nevermind fuck that.
If people can secretly work two simultaneous full time jobs, you can work a different job while collecting the paycheck for the job you left but they won’t process the resignation for.
Apparently not if one paycheck is from the government and the other is from a company that works with the government.
I TOLD you ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS were WASTING Taxpayer Dollars! But he’s WHITE and RICH so I DONT CARE! DEPORT BROWN US CITIZENS INSTEAD!
