What's your basis for believing this? Especially given the Reagan precedent.
If the offer is not finalized, I would be worried because a Trump administration is hard to predict. You can have all the precedent you want, but as you see, Trump doesn't run on precedent.

Re: Hiring Freezes??
I understand that. But I would be more concerned about getting hired then for a reduction in force to happen. This is what I've always tought Trump would do. But I also didn't think he would elected so about that.ConfusedL1 wrote:The precedent from Reagan is that offers were RESCINDEDzot1 wrote:If the offer is finalized, it is harder for the agency to take it back.ConfusedL1 wrote:zot1 wrote:If an agency finalizes your offer prior to the new administration, you're golden.

Re: Hiring Freezes??
I'm not offended. Golden for final offers is still my thought on this. Would be concerned about what happens to those who don't have a final offer since it can be more likely rescinded. If you're not happy with this, well, you can just ignore it.ConfusedL1 wrote:No offense, but that's why I asked. "You're golden" is pretty hollow advice if the rationale for it is "I dunno.

Re: Hiring Freezes??
What is the effect of the new CR providing funding through April? Would a hiring freeze mean the agency would just sit on the funds?

The CR provides funding through April. HP attorneys won't start until the fall.

Right, but what is the effect of the new CR on those of us not in the HP pipeline? DOJ keeps advertising new AUSA positions.zot1 wrote:The CR provides funding through April. HP attorneys won't start until the fall.

I don't work for DOJ so I can't talk specific to them. I would also venture to say that HP funding is different than actual positions depending on the agency. Really there are too many factors to know.andythefir wrote:Right, but what is the effect of the new CR on those of us not in the HP pipeline?

If at the end you're just going to say "Hey I know I weighed in with a completely definite answer that people are uncertain about. Don't worry though brah, I just KNOW," cool, but it's a little frustrating to pull teeth to get you to do it. At least say if you're in government, are an attorney, or have any real knowledge of hiring practices beyond what we can get from a google search.

I am a federal government attorney, and I do hiring for my agency, in addition to personnel work. I'm sorry your future is so uncertain. I wish I could help you but I can't. Again, wish you the best of luck.

That sounds like a reasonable basis (for the third time, not trying to be offensive). Thanks for clarifying and the well wishes. Best of luck to your agency as well.

Re: Hiring Freezes??
I would strongly doubt that any hiring freeze would apply to criminal AUSAs. Trump has said there would be exceptions for positions related to public safety/health, and criminal AUSAs have historically fallen under that exception (and are always essential personnel when there's a government shutdown). Civil AUSAs might be out of luck though.andythefir wrote:Right, but what is the effect of the new CR on those of us not in the HP pipeline?

I can't comment on the rest of DOJ or the other agencies, except to say that I was hired under the HP during a hiring freeze, so I would be surprised if any new freeze interfered with the HP.

Re: Hiring Freezes??
I know this is going to sound super lawyer-y, but I feel like it depends on what the meaning of "hired" is. If it's "has started work," that's very different from "an offer has been extended and accepted and the various background stuff concluded and a start date designated." I honestly don't know what the legal meaning is in this context (or what Trump thinks it is).
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
