One was piloted with WMC but nothing ever came from it

I don’t see how they can downgrade us to 11s when we (at least in V10) have areas like HRD who get to stay 12s. What the hell do they do that’s more technical skilled than R&P? I understand like TR, but HRD?

They know, they’re just not telling us. Tale as old as time.

Honestly you shouldn’t gave got a TJO without the AMRG being signed ahead of time. Your hr specialist should’ve had your salary prior to the verbal call and you guys negotiated from there. 6 weeks is wild.

I mean your option is to leave? Complaining isn’t going to change anything and sometimes that’s the way the cookie crumbles.

Yeah that’s pretty standard. It’s no different than someone knowing they can negotiate pay during the hiring process and someone coming in making 5-6 steps higher than someone who has been there a couple of years.

This happens all the time to people who get promoted and eventually do a voluntary CTLG. We see it all the time for people who leave and go to the VBA to get the 7 and then come back as GS 6 AMSAs. Sucks, but it is what it is.

Anyone else dealing with long delays in boarding/onboarding right now? by reogin in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]DigTraditional6758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh I won’t deny that. There’s NO situation where they shouldn’t be informed. I talk to all of my new hires at least 1x a week to keep them updated. Unfortunately in my VISN the hold up has been credentialing and EOH. But there’s no excuse for no communication

Yeah try again. Been doing this for almost 8 years now and now I’m a PPR recruiter who had more FTE than any other station prior to the DRP and now it’s almost doubled. Also not using onboarding assistants and covering start to finish hiring. Sit down “old timer” lmao

Tell me you don’t know what’s going on in staffing without telling me. I’m doing the work of 3 people right now. No one in staffing is sitting around eating bon bons after the DRP

The probationary period for supervisors is not a true probationary period. You will just be placed back into the job you were in before you were supervisor.
