This is an excellent example of how even Congressmen can become confused about personnel actions that affect their constituents. https://www.nextgov.com/people/2025/03/gop-lawmaker-calls-va-guarantee-only-underperformers-are-targeted-workforce-layoffs/403473/?oref=ngfcw_alert_nl&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Nextgov/FCW%20Alert%20-%20March%205%2C%202025&utm_term=newsletter_ng_alert
In this article… https://www.nextgov.com/people/2025/03/va-plans-lay-many-83000-employees-year/403488/?oref=ngfcw_alert_nl&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Nextgov/FCW%20Alert%20-%20March%205%2C%202025&utm_term=newsletter_ng_alert … it is clear that the VA is committed to reducing its workforce via the tool of a Reduction-In-Force (RIF) personnel action. A RIF removes positions, which then affects the holders of those positions. [Little known fact about a RIFed employee: they have "bumping rights" and can "bump" another employee who has less "seniority rights" than him/her).
The Congressman, however, is asking the VA to shave its complement of employees via a performance-based firing, which is not a RIF. Apples and oranges here. The Congressman is in good company, though. Many Americans are similarly confused.
