2025 Federal Jobs Breakdown: Tips & News

I don't think the RIF pause will last, so folks need to prepare

I think we can all agree that Joe Biden was not running anything especially the country in every act that was taken under. That administration was constitutionally illegal.

Do you think medical coders will be riffed or job eliminated due to AI in the future? MRT 0675

I think the freeze will go till the end of the current presidency. The current administration doesn't care about the mission, they hate government employees and want to minimize them as much as possible. People are leaving left and right with and w/o DRP. If people apply for fed jobs, is going to be out of necessity and not longevity. They destroyed the values and the will to serve. It's going to be really hard to improve what has been done. People are quiting, stressed, and commiting suicide.

Where's the audio?😮

Trump, mostly vought, hegseth and the rest of them really don't care if there are rifs or not, don't really care if there are bonifide cuts and reductions ...that is not the point nor has it ever been. The real purpose is two fold; mostly it is to exact revenge on who they feel are the "unelected bureaucrats" who they believe stymied the first term agenda, which for the GS work force nothing could be further from the truth, and secondly to perpetrate the political perception that the Trump admin is cutting government and government spending. It's an illusion, without the tiniest concern nor care about the betterment of the country or the government-not the point.

Will another VISP be offered this summer?

Can you do a video on the current hiring process and why opm has USA staffing locked so HR can’t set onboarding dates and send out FJO’s. It’s confusing why exempted positions still can’t hire. Much appreciated if you have any insight!!

You’re not correct about the best qualified statement… If you have veterans preference, you just need to be qualified. That’s the issue many hiring managers have about veterans preference. It’s very difficult for hiring managers to pass over veterans, even if they are not the best qualified.

This was great! Thank you for having this!

What happens to the people who were ‘bullied’ into taking the fork in the road? The premise was the RIFs are coming so you may as well quit, but if the RIFs are rolled back what happens to those people? Are they screwed? No opportunity to be reinstated?

If the RIFs are on pause or even maybe halted for ever, was I dumb to take DRP? I got a new job in the private sector, less pay - less benefits but happier work environment. I just feel bad because my federal job was my Career. I was short by 4 years for VERA :(. Many of my federal coworkers don't want to go back to the office so most-to-all are filing RA's for Depression and Anxiety.

What?
Huh?

Thank you for all the information you share.

“Stuck” as a GS13? No floss.

No audio sound😮

I’m out of the Fed Gov, or a good place to work anymore! Don’t fall into that trap, UNLESS you’re willing to say you follow the orange carrot and not the U.S. constitution.

If you get a job, you contact your manager to submit the information

I agree that there will be lots if opportunities once the hiring freeze lifts. But other than people already here climbing the ladder, I dont think many people will opt to join the federal service after all this.

Can you discuss the Discontinued Service Retirement since not many discuss it? It is if you are RIFd and are not offered a position within 2 pay grades of your current grade you are entitled to a “discontinued service retirement” where as long as you have 5 years civil service, you retire right then with retirement pay based on what you accrued so far. That’s what I would like.

Thank you!

We need the Major Richard Star Act to be completed. 🙏🏻

read my lips no new taxes. It would be nice to have sound, not just your lips move🤔

Not sure if you’re still entertaining questions but in case, here’s mine: opted in and was accepted into DRP 2.0 a couple of weeks ago but told I can’t go on admin leave until my DRP contract is fully signed (waiting for A/S to countersign). That was a couple of weeks ago. Have no leave date established yet. Argh! Do you think DRP is hung up in Illston’s injunction? I read in language somewhere it includes “other administrative actions”. Any idea?

Thank you so very, very much for your hard work and dedication in informing us of the latest events. I consistently watch your videos to learn information that is accurate and thorough. The Federal Agency I work in doesn’t tell us anything. It is nice to watch your videos, and see what I need to do for planning.

How can the administration say they are not the ones firing/laying off all these Fed employees when they put Russel Vought and all the agency heads in charge and the plan was to drastically reduce Fed govt? Never taking responsibility for their actions.

VA is still required to complete the 5 things I accomplished last week email.

No sound.

Will telework come back? In my agency, we had telework for some positions since late 90s, will be gone as of June 2025. Almost 30 years of telework in an agency with a great track record of success and productivity ,now, all of a sudden, it doesn't work anymore? There were no legitimate grounds to say it didn't work.

Appreciate you 😊

Are you informed about USPS specifically regarding workforce cuts?

Let me tell you something the 5 things I did last week has not gone away. I work for DOD and got the email to send it again every Monday. So that is fake news.

Feeling like I'm in a teams meeting with no audio

There is no possible scenario where the government can end the supplemental FERS investment that all the workers have contributed without compensation. The fifth amendment protects this seizure of assets. It won’t pass legal muster. No way….

Collins mentioned in his hearing there are 300k jobs listed as exempt from the RIF. Any idea where this list is? It sounds a little contradictory because no position is safe yet he says basically 98% of positions are.

Can you fix the audio?

I voted for Trump because the Biden Harris admin seemed so incompetent & I was furious at what they did with the Afghanistan withdrawal & border situation. But I'm completely disgusted by what Trump has done this far. I am right leaning by nature. I may never vote blue in my lifetime but I feel like I will never vote red ever again after seeing how they are celebrating demonizing federal workers and dragging us through the mud

Your the goat brother always going into battle and the fire 🔥 to update us on Trumps bullshit! Thanks 🙏🏾

If I were to take a promotion or change departments when the hiring freeze ends will that make me a new hire?

The RIF has been paused, but has the full restructuring plan been paused? I ask because the VBA,VHA, & VA Education have a duplication of services. Also does the pause escalate Schedule F?

1m?!?!?! That's a third of the federal government!?!?!?! Dam, I hate all those who voted for this.
