I was just curious, in the great 2025 calamity did anyone else get a DSR? Discontinued Service Retirement. Story time! I was with the United States Department of Education. 1,611, roughly 40% of the employees, were RIFed March 11 2025 at 7:38pm via email. I still have the picture of the email on my phone. June 9th was the original end of service date for the RIF. Well like in all the cases I know…

I am a former federal civilian that was RIF’d last year. It has been extremely hard navigating the FERS refund process. All of the contact information provided seems to get me no where. The 888 number always gives me an automated voicemail that tells me to try again later then hangs up. Does anyone have any other contact information?! I’ve been at this for well over a year!!! submitted by…

So I have medical problems, spent some time in the hospital last month, and have weekly to twice weekly medical appointments. I have I think about 4 total days of leave left and three appointment days coming up, not counting going forward. My office (under DoD) has killed telework and I can't take partial days due to my commute requirements (mass transit schedule). I'm looking at requesting LWOP…
I’ve spent my entire career in the private sector (enterprise tech/digital platform leadership) and have never worked for the federal government before. Before making the leap, I’d love to get a realistic perspective on what it’s actually like on the ground: Work Culture & Pace: How is the day-to-day culture within NOAA’s OCIO/HPCC? Is the environment collaborative, or does it feel heavily…

Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Director Scott Kupor, the key driver of President Donald Trump’s return-to-office agenda, admitted in a hot mic moment that he intentionally filmed a video in front of a blank wall while he was working from home so he wouldn’t get blowback over working at home. In an audio recording of an Aug. 18 all-hands agency meeting exclusively reviewed by Fortune , Kupor…

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still has an Alzheimer’s disease program. Congress appropriated $41 million to it this year. There’s just no one staffing it. Then there’s the agency’s Office on Smoking and Health. Congress allocated $246 million for that. Its staffers were cut, too. Same for the epilepsy program. Its sickle cell disease data collection operation. Its rape prevention…

Heads up geha will be rolling out AI for claim appeals an AI will decide if your claims appeal is now allowed...supposidly the RN will be able to "override" it of needed but no one was told how thats going to look. This change is due to "too many notes and paperwork with appeals AI can sort through it faster than an RN who would need around 2 hours per appeal" Unsure if or when this will be shared…

I have MHBP/Aetna with CVS Caremark and I’m trying to understand how the “Back on Track” override works when you are still titrating Zepbound. I’m not trying to fill a higher dose early or stockpile medication. What I’m wondering is whether anyone has actually done something like: Get a 3-month/84-day supply of one Zepbound dose using Back on Track Finish that entire supply Then move up to the…
I asked my supervisor for a reference more than once in a span to 2-3 weeks and now I am worried. I ended up asking my supervisor if they would be willing to be my reference for every job I apply to because I had a few different positions asking me for referneces and I did not want to ask them each time. The jobs that asked for a reference haven't even reached out to my supervisor or any of the…

So I was just helping a friend of mine with some career advice (Idk why he asked me lol, maybe because I'm a new supervisor or something) and a good question came up for us regarding Time in Grade requirements and things like that. Now, the way I understand it, is that since I started my career as a WG employee, and moved to the GS system, in order to apply to higher GS positions I need to meet…
Hi! Does a departing manager have any incentive (or disincentive) to give high ratings or recommend promotions on their way out to another team? Curious if there were any "big picture" things that come into play when promoting a ladder position employee when a manager is leaving the team. submitted by /u/JetPlaneee [link] [comments]
