USDA “offers” chance to reconsider DRP 2.0
Email received today:“l am writing to share more information with you regarding your participation in the Department's Deferred Resignation Program 2.0.First, I want to thank you for your service to your program, APHIS, and USDA. Your work protecting the health of American agriculture is important, valued, and depended upon by countless producers, the public, and industry and State partners. I know your work is important to you and imagine it may have been a difficult decision to elect to enroll in DRP 2.0. I respect that you weighed all these factors and made the best decision possible given the information available to you.However, in this period of time when you are either considering signing the DRP 2.0 agreement or preparing to begin administrative leave on May 1, I want to let you know that as an employee working in a vital, mission critical position for APHIS, your work - and the work of your colleagues in your same position - will continue to be of paramount importance to your program, APHIS, and USDA. While staffing levels will be reduced in other areas, and some functional work of APHIS may be consolidated and reassigned as part of USDA's workforce optimization plans, your mission critical position will not be affected. In fact, APHIS is working right now on a plan to continue mission critical staffing levels in line with USDA's optimization plans to ensure that our efforts to protect U.S. agriculture and carry out our core mission remains strong.If you are receiving this message, you have been deemed a front-line employee, or an employee working at a laboratory facility or other specific field-based location, and you can also expect to continue working there.I want to make sure that I shared this information with you at this time and ask you to reconsider your enrollment in DRP 2.0. Even if both you and the Agency have signed yur agreement, you have the option to rescind any time prior to the start of your administrative leave on May 1. To do so, simply send your request to MRP.HR.Directors.Office@usda.gov.I hope you will reconsider but no matter your final decision, I want to thank you for your service to APHIS and USDA and let you know that I value the contributions you have made to our efforts to safeguard U.S. agriculture.Sincerely,The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration”Edit: adding quotation marks to the email that was sent out
