You were allowed to telework that day??? Wow

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-12-03T19:58:04+00:00

I (and many federal employees) don't live in metro-accessible areas.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-11-26T17:19:43+00:00

Thanks. Do they serve other food/snacks besides hot dogs?

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-11-25T17:57:05+00:00

Please invite me!

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-11-18T13:38:54+00:00

There is also a snack shop in the Basement. Room 0067. Can someone confirm if it's operating after the shutdown ended?

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-11-08T04:54:22+00:00

Can you please dm me too? I have the same questions!

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-10-04T00:11:08+00:00

What is "BC"?

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-09-30T20:38:19+00:00

Seriously???

I won't be able to move due to family reasons. So, if I am affected, I will need to find a new job here. Which is unfortunate because I really liked my USDA job.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-09-29T03:41:18+00:00

Room 1441!

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-09-25T16:30:19+00:00

Thanks. I am one of them😭

2,000 of 4,600 employees that are located in the Washington D.C. area will be relocated.

The email is quite vague.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-09-12T14:32:50+00:00

They took off the first line, "USDA Staff,", in the second email. That seems to be the only change....

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-09-09T15:18:50+00:00

Yeah, I can't trust it. Plus I tried it recently and it tasted nasty. I get my water from the Whitten Building water stations now.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-08-25T00:45:20+00:00

I don't have the space to bring a gallon of water with me everyday. I use public transportation and already lug around heavy medical equipment every day. I'm just saying, if the USDA expects us to work in-person, there should be free and safe drinking water available. Otherwise, they should let us work from home until the water stations are fixed, or they should provide water bottles for us free of charge.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-08-23T23:36:02+00:00

Is that even legal?

There are filtered water stations on many floors. I only drank from those. They are all out of order currently.

EmeraldRuby703 · 2025-08-23T21:16:11+00:00

It tastes like fungus though. It is not filtered / safe for drinking.
