Field Office Losses Under VSIP

     Voluntary Separation Incentive Program is one of several programs designed to induce Social Security employees to leave their jobs. It's probably the most important of the programs as far as the agency's field offices are concerned. Below is a map showing where the worst field office losses have occurred followed by a list of those offices with a 25% or greater loss. As always, click on the image to see it full size but the map is still a bit hard to read even then. The bottom line is that green represents less than 15% loss. Yellow represents 15-25% loss. Red represents greater than 25% loss.

Well, that explains some of the issues I've had in my neck of the woods (Midwest)

Sad all of that institutional knowledge is gone. No business person would allow such a loss of knowlege and good will. The staffs that were demolished are now throwing away all of their records making restoration of their support as virtually impossible. All thanks to Dudek, someone who never worked in a Fo, PSC, TSC, DOC, OHO or another support position.

What about all those leaving in the large sites - deleted ROs, PSCs, TSCs, DOC, etc?

Any updates on offering early out to people with 20 years of service?

20. Will any modifications or exceptions to the service or age requirements for early
retirement be made?

a. No.  The eligibility requirements are set in statute at 5 USC 8414.

Not an update, but early out is possible at 20 years if you are age 50. That's always been true when offered. No chance it'll be offered at 20 years for those under 50.

Looks like the Rossville MD office is likely to get some reassignments.

Heard from my friend in WI that his office went from 20 people to 8...

Leaving was the best possible option of only bad options. It’s only going to get worse based on the plans currently in place. When you RIF OGC, you broadcast the end of the story. Good luck all, see you on the outside.
