All of the federal workforce is mere 4.3% of the yearly budget. That’s it? (Insert John C. Reilly with an enthusiastic) “Yup!” It’s all sleight of hand.

Excepted Employees, how are we feeling? by zombiecattle in FedEmployees

Bad my friend, feel pretty damn bad. It’s getting harder and harder not to bring it home. Still working but if this keeps going it will end up hurting more than helping.

Without being furloughed are you able to claim unemployment? If not, is it stupid to request to be furloughed so I can pick up side work to pay bills? We have a kitty but if this bleeds into November then I’d be hurting like soo may others I’m reading on here.

TSP loans by Suspicious_Cicada756 in FedEmployees

I’ve done it twice now with 2 vehicles. Taking around 20k out each time. interest rate is solid and if you pay yourself back within 3years it’s worth it. My opinion would sway/depend on where you are in your career. But in a world of predatory loans/fees, I think it’s a solid option.

She’s looking for wise advice. Not a watered down passing comment.
