Yes, federal layoffs happen. Is the probability of the average federal employee being laid off this year, higher or lower than the probability of a private-sector employee being laid off?

Depends on where that federal employee is located, and whether or not he's a veteran, and where is the home base of his unit.

The Algore's "reinventing government" idea was simply a plan of rolling RIFs designed to discourage your better sort of federal employees to quit and go elsewhere.

It was fueled by a handful of USPS headquarters and regional RIFS.

The Algore should ultimately be punished for his ideas.
