I guess I'd hoped that, in person, there might be some charm or charisma that doesn't come across on television. Or that by watching an entire speech, in person, there'd be some positive element that I missed watching short clips. Nope. He's terrible. Rambled off script. Spoke badly of his predecessors. Made a poorly-considered joke while talking about a dead woman. He's old and self-possessed and…

They're apparently told in advance who they'll be, so it's not like they're on call at home. Their duty day is just scheduled late in the day for any last minute things that need to be on contract before the funds expire at the absolute end of the fiscal year. Is that common in your agency? submitted by /u/Big-Island4727 [link] [comments]
The EEOC has proposed a rule that removes neutral oversight from federal EEO complaints and gives agencies more control over investigations — even when those agencies are the ones accused of discrimination. This affects every federal employee nationwide. If you care about fairness, accountability, and due‑process rights, please read and sign my petition. Sign my Petition for Change! submitted by…

I will make this easy. I will hit my 20 this year (47). I see everyone saying that the reason to stay to 30, other than more money 💰 is the FEHP benefit. I am a disabled Vet with healthcare through the VA. My spouse got Breast Cancer at 31 and I don’t expect them to live past 70. What is the “real” benefit to staying 20 vs. 30 other than money? 🤔 I think I can make more money doing…

It's almost comical that they are trying to appeal to young people on social media by using fictional movies because what they are trying to sell is also fiction. A promising career from an employer who wants to help employees grow and has its employees best interest at heart is certainly not what they have conveyed to the public from their actions since agent orange came back to power. Maybe…

Curious for anyone with experience working ORSAs in their teams, how many are they? What kinds of projects do they work on, or, don't? Specifically anyone in DoW, how are they integrated or incorporated into other projects? Work valued? Do you see 50 or just 1 or 2? submitted by /u/flyingcostanza [link] [comments]

“House GOP leaders are aiming to put a Senate-passed stopgap spending bill on the floor early next week, in the first days back in session after a five-week recess, according to three people granted anonymity to disclose private discussions.

I am needing a copy of my civilian LES for my home loan. I got an email stating that it was available but when I log into MYPAY I don’t have access to my civilian mypay account. It does not populate. This will be my first DOD civilian check so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. submitted by /u/Glittering_Memory_60 [link] [comments]

Hey all! I’ve been employed as a NAF employee for about 2.5 years now. My position has been converted from a NAF billet to GS and as such, I’ve moved over to the GS world, officially this week. My question is, do I need to complete another one year of probation? My supervisor just provided me my SF50 which indicates I am in a one year probationary status, again. I’m doing some research on this and…

“USDA's current plan calls for moving approximately 2,600 positions out of the National Capital Region.

My husband’s job requires us to relocate to a city that happens to have a local EPA office. I want to continue my EPA role from there and am weighing my options between requesting remote status or a formal duty station change (SF-50), which would shift me to the new city's higher locality pay.Has anyone at the EPA successfully gotten a voluntary duty station change approved for personal reasons?…
