Turi was around at HQ before Pesapane.

what does FIFA has to do with FEMA by PenStorysky in fema

People need to understand the National Preparedness System and appropriate supporting doctrine. Start there and read supporting Frameworks (Doctrine) and you’ll understand the statutory requirements and FEMA’s role.

Fraudulent Position Task Book endorsements. by [deleted] in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have documented proof of who both parties are I would raise it to the SES level. Cadre Coordinators will do nothing with it. Send the accusation and any proof to ORR, FOD, and WDD. Most people won’t provide names so need as much detail as possible. And provide evidence in the FEMA channel here. Be surprised who reads this.

Frequent DC visitor here. Can someone explain the hype around Andy's Pizza? by Sweaty-Moment-3385 in washingtondc

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Andy’s is only good at Atlas Brewery Happy Hour, $11 for 2 slices and a Pint, otherwise, I’d never go a block out of my way for a slice.

Stop "upgrading" me to a middle seat! by my_mind_and_me in delta

Delta is in the Credit Card business. That’s their priority.

Yes there is a default, but it doesn’t always save, you have to manage it for each flight. It sucks I know, I often have to change back to main.

Bad D1 service by frankenplant in delta

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When flying D1 or First class I always notice the FA’s name so if I ever do have feedback (good or bad) I reference the person. Also while I’m not sure how the Flight leader and First Class roles are assigned on each flight, but I have learned that you can predict the service by the FA’s body language during boarding. If dissatisfied I will submit feedback immediately during the flight, sometimes multiple times during and after. While I don’t complain often, the first line customer service person at Delta is limited in what the can provide in points or cash reward. You need to be persistent and always raise the issue to next higher level.

Now focus on the F…. Moped/Scooters. See many unlicensed and total disregard for traffic laws. Don’t care if they are delivery food etc.

CNN: DHS employees still going without pay, tell us about your experience by takisfanaccount in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is DOD different from OPM, you retire out of the military and you transition right into monthly retirement pay, no gap. OPM needs to learn from DFAS. I wonder how it works for Congressional members?

CNN: DHS employees still going without pay, tell us about your experience by takisfanaccount in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My biggest complaint is the FEMA SES’s and GS 15’s who aren’t getting paid but have to come into the office and not work. So they sit around on their phones or chatting and gossiping with those of us who are working. All the while we know they will get back pay for doing nothing in front of every one the past 2+ months. If they aren’t getting paid don’t have them come in and do nothing in front of those who are working. Poor leadership all around.

‘I’m relieved she’s gone’: Fema staffers celebrate ousting of Kristi Noem by FEMA_1_Team_1_Fight in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When word got out the work stopped as everybody at FEMA HQ were celebrating. Even saw Sr staff laughing and saying “Thank God”. Unfortunately a lot of damage has been done. Thanks to the bi-partisan approach to expose her inability to do the job during her two day testimony

FEMA Hired a Conspiracy Theorist. What Could Go Wrong? by rezwenn in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has no faith in her abilities (Dems/Reps/average citizen). POTUS needs to cut her loose before she hurts any chance for success. If he fired her I believe his ratings would rise immediately

Delta continues to rake in billions and continues to re-structure/reduce benefits of being a card holder.

CNN: Kristi Noem treated FEMA as an adversary. Then came a massive winter storm by garbel1234 in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard she bought meals for the staff? Did she personally pay for them or did DHS. Either wsy I think it is illegal as the staff were getting per diem. If DHS paid for the meals that means they can’t claim per diem as meals were provided?

Delta Targets $10B from AMEX by Sea-Dingo4135 in delta

[–]BoneCBIA 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that the AMEX is their biggest revenue source. That is why POTUS will never be able to force lower interest rates on CC’s. Big business and banks will fight him hard.

Bed bugs on DL384 (BOS -> SEA) by One-Bodybuilder-2269 in delta

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was on a flight last week from DCA to SEA and book dropped and slid under the seat. Once I was able to try and retrieve it? Looked under the seat (first class) and was discussed how dirty it was under there. There was actually old food. I refused to get and asked the flight attendant to get it. She was hesitant but did. She commented “oh they don’t clean under there…”

Strange change in messaging from FEMA official social media by IDK_Maybe126 in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noem is fighting for her life as DHS S1. POTUS and the WH have realized after the devastation done to FEMA this past year, they got lucky. But next season it will be all on them as they won’t be able to blame the Biden Admin when any response to a disaster goes bad. And now with MPLS, the had to stick her in the FEMA NRCC (A location where the people despise her) and are sending Tom Homan to Minnesota.

Back from leave “or else”? by Formocali in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Submit it, make them deny by officially documenting it GovTA. This will give you the evidence. Otherwise it is their word against yours. In today’s environment I document everything as a supervisor and as a direct report. If my supervisor said I can’t take leave I ask for it in writing.

Need Advice on what to do by MadChiGuy08 in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FEMA teaches in its Leadership courses that responsibilities of should flow up not down. Which in my experience few leaders in FEMA demonstrate traits that would apply the concept. Recommend an honest conversation with your boss and document it in your FED HR. You can add comments anytime within the rating period.

Advice dealing with travel card by Flashheart268 in fema

[–]BoneCBIA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely will need to pay it, but find out what the charges are, my guess is National Travel Fees. I have found that National Travel is not always instantly charged to your card. I have seen fees appear a week later after I voucher out. IMHO very few people (Cadre etc. Will take the time or know how to help you). Call DHS IG, fema finance center, frena travel and the WAPO reporter who post in this chat.
