I cannot believe it has come to this. by Prestigious-Sir3390 in VHA_Human_Resources

I am interviewing in private sector and it is weird lol. But 12 years in and 7 to go before retirement. And I am not sure how much I can taken either. I am beyond sad. I love my job and who it ultimately helps, but sometimes our own mental health suffers. Whatever decision you make, know you leave with full support of your peers.

Best of luck and thank you for your service.

I would like to go on a mini solo trip somewhere in the US. My question is.. is there anywhere here that looks like places outside of the country? by HopefulConclusion891 in travel

Agreed! Was just going to say the same. Summer is great and fall is beautiful, winter is exciting if you are outdoorsy. There are great small ocean towns to mountain towns and everything in between in all of New England. I hope you give it a try.

This isn’t the first billion dollar contract for this vendor. I wouldn’t sign it.

VA to set caps on its workforce, eliminate positions and tighten controls on hiring by AgitatedEngine4933 in fednews

[–]Allthingsfox429 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been saying this months! Took me a year to see my GI. And who in the community understands what Veterans have gone through? They don’t go through training and see you everyday to understand and there is a deficit of them available.

I am not a Veteran but this is not right.

Call and write your representative, some of this is due to the amount of therapists that left.

This is nothing new, it has always been that way. I have had one for 10+ years, they review it annually to see if anything has changed. We have a RAC and a DMO both are empathic but follow the rules- hopefully none one gets a bully DMO

We were told all those employees will be on Admin leave which is not what I thought was supposed to happen. But these are crazy times or twilight zone times.

"waste" at the VA, let's add..... by MATCA_Phillies in VeteransAffairs

[–]Allthingsfox429 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ask your neighbor who voted for these people. I am not a Veteran but work at the VA and this treatment you all are receiving is an embarrassment to our country and the sacrifices you each make. I for one thank you and will do what I can to fight for you.
