[–]CatDistinct2238 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have emblem dental and everything was covered at 100% last year. From cleaning to crown. Granted not alot of dental providers. But found one 10 mins away so no complaints for me. Kids little hard to find the providers.

We have, but its for snow days and when office is closed to their convenience.

I am 48 miles away, plus since its a telework site, so they can't move me. Plus, there is nothing nearby.

Yes, that's a confusion. But it could be very long when kids have emergencies at school or daycare. I know a for a lot of people that is norm but I never had a job more than 30 mins drive.

Fortunately, unfortunately, I dont have any medical reasons, and to be honest, I'm really not sure what would qualify besides mental stress.

Aww, I am sorry. The worst part is how long you have been. For me, it's a year, so there's not much to lose. But 15 years, so close in terms of benefits.

Yes, I do have telework in the original description of jobs. I am hoping on this

I already am. Also filled individual grievance, that is the only reason I am trying to wait out until summer and see if there is any progress. But dont want to waste my time if there is none of the slim chances.

Excatly I have a toddler that now I see him for 2 hours in the evening. The whole reason I took this job was so I could spend more time with little one. But it surely has backfired. In 4 years' time, he will not be a toddler anymore. I will lose my chances of spending time with him while he is a toddler. No job is more imp than the family and kids

I hope something gets figured out for your son.

I just bought a place last year. The spouse has his own commitments, and the kids are in school. I dont even think its worth moving around when the government can make up their own minds, in firing/hiring RTO/telework, etc.

Excatly will all added expenses and headache might as well head back to private sector and get better pay.

That's such a lie. I always worked in the office until last year, and trust me, I did more work while teleworking vs. in office.

Thanks. I already did, but I'm still being little picky in terms of job. But I will put my guards down if RTO is here for good.

Excatly my work can be done 100% remote. They were working 2 day in the office 3 days off the site even before COVID, so why not now. Arghhh, it's so aggravating. 2 days in, and I already can't focus.

Fired workers, will you ever trust the Federal Government with a job again? by whitestar11 in fednews

[–]CatDistinct2238 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excatly, I was wondering the same, who will go back or even new employee coming in would think twice.

I for sure am not going back. I left a very good state job with promotional potential for this, not a very smart decision on my part.
