GSA walks back mass layoffs of its federal buildings workforce

Buildings Service faced the brunt of GSA's widespread layoffs, amid plans to drastically shrink its real estate portfolio.

The General Services Administration is looking to reinstate hundreds of laid-off employees who managed its governmentwide real estate portfolio. GSA’s Public Buildings Service is giving laid-off employees the option to return to their jobs, after sending them reduction-in-force notices earlier this year.

“This serves as an update to your previously issued notice of reduction in force. Your specific notice of Reduction in Force (RIF) has been rescinded, effective immediately,” acting PBS Commissioner Andrew Heller wrote in a notice obtained by Federal News Network.

GSA is giving PBS employees until the end of the day on Friday, Sept. 26, to accept or decline reinstatement. If employees accept the offer, they must report to their previous posts by Oct. 6.

A GSA employee told Federal News Network that PBS is planning to reinstate nearly 400 employees who received RIF notices. “Your decision of whether to accept or decline a return to duty is completely voluntary,” Heller wrote in the notice.

The complete cluelessnes by this administration's lackeys about how the government has evolved into what it has, is truly breathtaking, and having handed over "personnel" functions to the "illegal alien Muskrat" to chainsaw it into pieces, has been a tragic exclamation point for their idiocy.
