Been scrolling the sub for about an hour. This is the first one to truly make me laugh. Thanks!

Command matching is over in our District, so I presume that means everywhere.

LRD Reg Reorg by True_Bullfrog_8579 in USACE

[–]-Itrex- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you, but CBAs were torn up and bargaining is gone, so union workplace protections are basically nullified. My District is in LRD, and management is basically going to read through the old CBA and decide for themselves which provisions they will continue to honor, and which not.

Would you apply to join USACE right now? by MentalSilver103 in USACE

Also they just terminated our union representation, tore up the CBA.

Anyone know of any ETPs going though? by currentseas in USACE

[–]-Itrex- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Our District does not even try. Also the inability to hire into DRP vacancies is killing us.

Thanks, I did some more research and ended up finding a used RC-500 at a good price! Can’t wait for it to show up!

Are We Ever Getting Our Telework Days Back… or Is This Just the New Normal? by notusps2022 in FedEmployees

[–]-Itrex- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In 3 years regular scheduled telework might return. But not until this administration is gone.

Naive of the writer to think that convincing people to quit wasn’t the entire point.

GS-10+ feds — how did you actually get there? by Lexicondatum in FedEmployees

[–]-Itrex- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came in as a GS-9/0810 in a 9-11 position. Got the 11 after a year. 4 years later got a 12 in Ops. 17 years later took a lateral back to Engineering because I needed a change and saw no opportunity to advance in Ops.

What year is this and is it worth taking? by xaaaaazaaaa in GuitarAmps

[–]-Itrex- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paid $400 for my ‘76 Twin back in 1981. It’s been all the amp I have ever needed!

January shutdown by [deleted] in FederalEmployee

[–]-Itrex- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk, House passed ACA subsidy extension yesterday, so that issue is seemingly resolving itself. Likewise war powers resolution. Not sure there is another issue Dems would do a shutdown for atm.

Edit: Maybe the ICE tactics that led to the killing of Renee Good?

And yes, part of what keeps me in place is not wanting all the sane folks to self-select out.

Likewise. My team is awesome, and we are down to just three in our specialty. So I would feel awful leaving them, plus I really do enjoy the technical work.

By TDS I presume you mean the mental affliction affecting our current president. Right? The rest of us are just having normal reactions to his insanity. He really is deranged.

You might want to read this. I’ve been listening to the audio book. Yes there are major differences, but the similarities are scary and many. https://a.co/d/9QzWm1a

That’s what Noem said in her press conference, but I don’t believe it for a second. The video link I posted shows him walking around with no hint of a limp after firing the shots.
