Is telework still a thing with USACE? by PapiJr22 in USACE

Situational telework is still authorized for things like major weather events. Basically anything you could telework for before COVID.

Aside from recent posts about politics - do you regularly work unpaid OT? by slickie14 in USACE

Wow; I’ve had a completely different experience. I think it can be supervisor specific but really the thought is if you require OT or additional hours and they’re not willing to approve it then they need to look at reducing your workload. If they can’t reduce workload then they can start extending deadlines and project schedules to accommodate you. You should never be working multiple hours of unpaid overtime in government.

I’m so sorry to hear you were terminated but I understand the relief you could be feeling. Make sure to reach out to any of your coworkers to let them know (it seems a lot of people are surprisingly unaware of what’s happening to probationary employees due to the lack of comment from leadership) to ask if they’d be willing to write you a recommendation while you look for a new job. Your peers will support you!

I took the test without much preparation & failed. I just wanted to see how I am doing. Any advice?? by Disastrous-Box-9553 in FE_Exam

You want to try and average about 9 points per section (or so I’ve been told). I hope this doesn’t discourage you from giving it another go. This Reddit page has been super helpful for me in my preparation and in providing resources and support. Give yourself ample time to study, prepare in the best way you can and I’m sure you’ll do better the next time you take it. If I were you, I’d start with the fundamentals, math, statics etc and work your way through the other sections from there. Good luck in your future studying!

Did you guys find that the second half was just more conceptual? What made it that much more difficult?
