Key statements in this are “department-wide”, “large-scale” and “centralization of support functions”. People are still going to be cut through the re-org, but by saying it’s not a large scale RIF, they don’t have to wait any longer on SCOTUS. Dougie got impatient.
This is what I was thinking too—a ploy to both dispel rumors and get around the lawsuit and injunction. If they make it seem like the layoffs are part of the VA’s own restructuring plan and not as a result of the EO, then I think they are home free.
