New Buyout at LaRC

NASA LaRC Memo: CD COMM #2005-2 Buyout Opportunity

“In light of the Center’s FY06 budget situation and the accompanying civil service workforce reductions, I have decided to announce an immediate buyout opportunity for the same skills that were included in the buyout that opened in December. While our original plans did not include another buyout opportunity this year, the A-76 decision and the magnitude of the FY06 budget reductions have required us to adjust our workforce planning scenarios.”

“Two sailors basically support one civilian job because sailors have to get haircuts, furnish their homes, and lead lives outside of work. Highly paid NASA engineers support even more workers, because they have more money to spend, Whaley said.”
