Demoted, But Paid the Same?

The IRS is returning employees who used to process tax returns and other paperwork back to their old jobs for the next eight months to help the agency cut through its massive backlog, Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in an internal email Wednesday night.

Current resources simply aren’t enough to overcome the challenge, he said, so he’s pulling people out of their new posts to leverage their prior experience.

So they weren't really doing anything at their new jobs, or does this change one problem to another problem?

It doesn't say what their new jobs are. So what parts of IRS will get worse when the 1200 go back to processing returns?

That was the part of my question asking what they were doing in their new jobs. 😁

There are so many things that snowball from IRS not processing returns (or opening mail for 9 months) that this might be one thing they got right.  Time will tell.
