Received RIF letter, went out and found a new job that was supposed to start after June 2nd, then came the TRO. Now what?
I'm in a bit of a predicament and could use some opinions. I received my RIF notice on April 1st with a termination date of June 2nd. So I hustled, applied to hundreds of jobs, got a few offers and ended up accepting a remote job with equivalent pay. I definitely recognize I'm super lucky and this is not the norm! But if I'm honest, after about a month of crying and feeling sorry for myself, I've started looking forward to finally being done with the government and receiving severance pay plus leave payout. Now with the news of the TRO and potential holdup of the RIF, I'm feeling stuck. I don't want to give up the new job because I have a feeling the RIF will happen eventually, however if I quit I give up the severence (which was going to be about 35k, plus a leave payout of about 15k) and the possibility of backpay if any lawsuits happen. Again, I am in no way complaining and I understand that if the RIF is delayed I and everyone else affected will get to keep their benefits and pay for a while longer. I'm not wishing for the RIF to go through or anything like that. What would you do? Accept the new job and quit the fed if the TRO is extended? Turn down the new job and hope for the best? This is such a crazy time.
