Is there any way to figure out if I might be on a potential RIF list other than asking my supervisor? I’m trying to gauge my risk if DOGE were to implement something drastic, like a 50% cut across the government.

I think most of us are feeling the stress of being in the dark about potential layoffs. While it’s tough to get clear answers right now, you could try observing changes in workload, department budget cuts, or if certain projects are being paused. It could give you some clues, but unfortunately, there’s no foolproof way other than talking to your supervisor or waiting and watching. I honestly doubt if your supervisor would even know exactly what's going to happen.

I’ve caught myself overthinking every interaction. For example, when my supervisor skipped our 1:1 last week, I spiraled. Is she avoiding hard conversations? Is there something I’m not being told? I know I could just ask, but the thought of hearing something definitive makes me too nervous.

Check your most current SF-50. Look for the RIF eligibility. Also check out OPM because there was a good memo discussing the Executive Order about two weeks ago and there was some guidance released about probationary hires about a week ago.

Small little box in the informational area. You would typically browse right over it because everyone tends to look at comment box.
