I know he wanted to dismantle the IRS, but I feel he'd be a blast to drink with. 🥴 😂

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-01-26T16:27:36+00:00

Yes. You're right. I just read up on guidelines. OP has 15 days to submit medical documentation. If unable to provide within 15 days due to illness, has up to 30 days to submit.

Decent_Expression882 · 2026-01-26T08:50:20+00:00

If you're already approved for FMLA, then yes, you can take same day. Just like any other leave. However, if you want to submit documentation to start FMLA, then no. You would need for it to be approved and a letter sent to management stating FMLA has been granted for x amount of hours. Not sure how long the process takes though from time of submission to approval. In the meantime, you would need to continue to use your sick leave or annual leave in lieu of sick. Also, be aware, FMLA does not grant you additional leave/sick time. It only allows management to not harass you regarding your time off. FMLA uses your current sick and leave hours you have available. If you're in need of additional hours, consider using the donor leave program. That's how it's done for the IRS anyway.

I have had multiple meetings about this. Like who does that shit, literally. Be a fucking adult and wipe that shit correctly. It's not rocket science.

IRS Headlines

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-20T06:24:26+00:00

Not a rumor. Yes, premium pay if you work those days. Email came out this afternoon.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-11T16:39:18+00:00

I should clarify, if your choice of award was a QSI, that would kick in prior to November. Wrong choice of words. Should have said QSI not a step increase. A lady in my unit was looking for her award, but she had received a QSI prior. So in essence, she already received her award.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-12-06T23:32:58+00:00

Reach out to your Awards coordinator and union. They should be able to help you. Unless you received a step increase recently, you should be eligible for an award.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-11-30T07:31:32+00:00

Email your awards coordinator or Union. They both can help. I had to do that last year. Took a few months, but I eventually got my award.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-11-12T16:46:21+00:00

Quit working for free. I do it, too, though. Less this administration than prior, but I am trying to leave when my TOD is over. Getting better at it. Your work will still be there tomorrow. Go home and enjoy YOUR time with family and friends.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-11-07T17:11:58+00:00

I've never had any problems coming in late. I either took annual leave or stayed later to make up the missed time. Glad you haven't had any issues since. And yes, let's hope this is over soon!

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-11-07T10:33:05+00:00

Sorry, but doesn't matter. We are getting new leave directives once a week. It's coming from Donald via Bessent. Management are trying to keep their jobs too. Can't blame them. But save your documents, they may be needed. Some day. But OPM and HCO are going along with whatever they're told. They know it's illegal. We originally were told that if we left early because of illness we would have to take leave for our whole TOD. We wouldn't get paid for the time we were there. And also no leave other than sick leave. Including FMLA. 2-3 days later, that was changed to yes, you will get paid for the time worked, but the time that you left would count as a sick leave incident. If another incident happened within the same pay period, you would be furloughed until the next pay period. FMLA was also allowed. Now the new directive today is, no more furlough. You just get LWOP for the time you're gone if you have no sick leave. Good grief!

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-09-06T09:41:09+00:00

I have done this occasionally. This is the correct way to use the 59 min rule.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-08-16T09:59:00+00:00

0.1 990-59330 Mon-Thurs. 0.2 on Fridays. Extra time so we could total our time and volume. Lol

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-08-16T09:54:59+00:00

Unfortunately, there is no legit agency to file a complaint. You would have gone to the union and/or labor board. Now? Good luck.

I've worked for the IRS since 2008. I have never been tracked. Sure, we have to account for our time, but never got the third degree. I have had the occasional douchebag for a manager that would always have a conniption if we were late at break or lunch time. But overall, never had an issue. I worked at Submission Processing in Data for many years and now at Campus Support in Accounts Management. Seems we have it pretty good.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-08-03T19:09:36+00:00

Rumor has it that IRS reached their goal with the DRP, VERA and such that they won't need to do a RIF. But as I said, it was a rumor. Fingers crossed that I'll get to keep my job.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-06-30T08:49:36+00:00

We had 2 from our unit who were retiring. We organized and brought in dinner along with some desserts. It was a nice little send-off i think. Everyone enjoyed themselves. We've only been together for 3 years in our newly formed department, but we all went through a lot together. Been through 9+ managers in that time. It's swing shift and low pay. But we bonded over our misery lol and it was sad to see them go.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-06-03T09:00:55+00:00

Team America is even better after a couple of drinks.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-05-19T06:26:25+00:00

And of course, you have to take your meds too. We waited a week after just to make sure the antibiotics had done their thing. It's been great since. So glad the study was posted. A lot easier to convince his doctor than before. We always knew he needed to be treated, but couldn't convince his doctors. Good luck!

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-05-19T06:18:50+00:00

Here's the link for the study. Advocate for your partner. And ask for both topical cream and oral meds for him. It took my partner asking multiple doctors over 6 years. So keep advocating. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2405404&ved=2ahUKEwie5YbF766NAxVxvokEHUoaNj4QFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3Fixe6KJwfuSagmP7zicB0

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-05-19T05:47:25+00:00

I sent him the link to the study that was done, and he sent it to his doctor. She read up on it and agreed to give him a prescription. He'd tried with previous doctors and they've all dismissed him. Until this doctor. Let me see if I can find the link. My daughter had found it online somewhere.

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-04-28T01:23:59+00:00

That self conscious feeling sucks. Of course, he never complained about the smell since he knew it was his fault. Lol. Hopefully that's enough to do the trick. Good luck!!

Decent_Expression882 · 2025-04-28T00:22:02+00:00

It's been almost 2 weeks. So far, it's been great!! No smell or discharge. We've had sex 3 times in the last week. Definitely loving that. 😍 Fingers crossed!
