The general service administration warns the employees that a non -voluntary strength reduction comes – the youngest in a number of efforts to significantly reduce their employees.

“This serves as a announcement that the agency will carry out a reduction in force (Rif), and requests that the Office for Personnel Management (OPM) also receive a voluntary early pension authority (Vera) in an e -mail on Monday, received the Federal News Network. “Further information on affected business units and employees will be opened up.”

At the beginning of this month, GSA executives informed the employees that they would probably reduce total expenses in all programs and staff by 50%.

Ehikian also alerted the employees that the PLASSION’s resignation of the OPM was only the “first step to tighten the federal employees”. GSA, he said, had provided the first phase of employees, who took the OPMS resigned resignation in the administrative leave for the “next chapter”.

“Many other employees still work in the DRP process, which ends at the end of March. As I have already shared with you, the DRP was the first step in the efforts of GSA to modernize, modernize and rationalize the agency, ”wrote Ehikian.

“I offer my sincere and sincerely for AL -GSA employees who are affected by this decision,” he added. I appreciate your service on this nation and my best wishes for the next phases of your life and your career. I promise you that GSA will continue to do everything in our power to make your descent fair and dignified. “

The GSA also ends teleworking and removed workforce, except under “limited circumstances” for its workers of almost 13,000 employees.

In another youngest memo, Ehikian said that around 2,000 GSA employees – more than 15% of his workforce – live more than 50 miles from the next GSA regional office. GSA employees were instructed to report to the office full-time from March 3.

“As a short-term solution, we will search for the best alternative with a field office within 50 miles from your home to start,” said Ehikian in the previous email. “There is a very high probability that this assigned duty station will be GSA employees on March 3. March. “

Ehikian said the GSA wants to close and consolidate some of his 11 regional offices in the United States and also try to close or consolidate many of its more than 700 field offices. He said the GSA commissioned a group to evaluate options to optimize the GSA footprint – “the result will be less waste and better use.”
