FEMA BRIC eliminated - notice coming tomorrow

Apparently it was an AF1 decision, but it’s not a RIF and nothing is known about timelines.

If it’s not a RIF what do you think will happen to the employees?

FEMA has the complicating factor of people having secondary job titles. Remove to many people to fast, can't fill those secondary job titles if there is a large disaster or too many medium disasters. I doubt there has been much thought as to what these people will do, but maybe some of them will be offered incident management assistance team (IMAT) like roles to train in while the agency actually figures out what it's doing.

The titles will get waived if needed. I don't think the titles will be considered with the RIF. They want to chop down numbers fast. They didn't care about job titles when all the probationary employees were fired.
