A management directed reassignment, although not a new concept, has been recently issued to dozens of federal employees with minimal notice, prompting career-altering decisions.
Experts advise employees who receive such reassignments to ask questions, including those about the reporting structure, duties, and job title, as this information is often lacking in the reassignment letters.
“Ask for the reporting structure. Ask for the duties and the job title, because in some of these letters that we’ve seen, they’ve got nothing,”
said Erik Snyder, counsel with Gilbert Employment Law, emphasizing the importance of knowing the details of the new role.
This will help employees make informed decisions about their careers.
