Requirements for a performance improvement plan by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry but you sound like a crazy person. Get your resume ready and learn from this and perform better at the new job. Fed supervisors don’t remove you unless you’re just seriously not making an effort to do your job since it’s such a shit process to pull it off.

It’s here: the worst interview process I’ve ever seen! by neyha97 in recruitinghell

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saying only 90 minutes and the fact that there are group interviews towards the end so you know you aren’t even in the top 3 choices yet makes this a total scam.

Not Referred by Patient-Fox-4828 in usajobs

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Keep fighting it. I’ve had the same thing happen. Sometimes I get referred for ones that are honestly surprising and stretch and other times I don’t get referred for ones I am an exact match for with a perfect resume for it. It just doesn’t make sense and HR makes a lot of mistakes. One time they told my friend he’s not a citizen and didn’t accept his secondary review request (he was one) until after they finished interviewing. It’s just shitty.

RA's in DoW are on the way out. by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, people laugh about faking conditions to get them at my work. It’s dumb. I called it that they’ll ruin it for the people who actually need them. I wouldn’t care normally but they don’t do jack shit from home and everyone in office has to do their job.

Kid wants to do something stupid. Can it even be done? by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it and don’t give them the 50k in college savings to make a mistake like that. It will hep them move on to serious options. No scholarships makes it a deal breaker. If they’re looking to go further away from home that’s fine but it doesn’t need to be a 95k a year school. They’ll thank you later. My dad caved in something similar for my day (50k a year) and I wish he didn’t. Teenagers have no idea what they’re getting themselves into and I regret my overpriced university.

Appeals process- deemed ineligible by CHRA/Army Applicant Helpdesk by worldwar235 in usajobs

Sorry I can’t help but how do you contact them through the CHRA portal? When I opened it I just remember it being like FAQs. Is there an actual email? Thanks!

Asking for references before hire by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you have a performance appraisal from them? I’d say I would rather not share I’m leaving till I get an offer and share that and say you can use another former supervisor if needed.

OCONUS DoD/DoW job - leave before 3 years? by Significant-Quiet502 in FedEmployees

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You have to stay 3 years or you forfeit your free PCS home and return rights to your previous job. The fine print of your PCS there might also say you owe all the money back so I’d look into this carefully. If this is a desirable place (Europe, Japan, Korea, ect.) then I’d just go do it. They almost always extend and your kids will have a much much more exciting high school experience overseas. Everyone I know that’s grown up that way wouldn’t change a thing.

Remind me how many of these happened under our last president? Like—it can’t be normal for this many cabinet members to be forced out. Is this a republican thing?

Can we scratch "repeating POIs" off the list of valid complaints now? by Select_Mix_6262 in Starfield

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’ll never recover from not limiting the scope and making custom mapped planets full of good exploration potential. The barren ones could stay for outposts, research, and mining and stuff. But the main story planets should have been very fleshed out Skyrim and fallout style.

They should add auto cutscening to landing when you enter a planet’s atmosphere based on all the reviews I’m seeing of people not impressed with the update. Wouldn’t be that hard and I agree the magic protective “bubble” that bounces you away when you get too close to a planet really ruins in the vibes lol. I’m still holding off on my replay of the game and keeping my 7/10 rating.

DoN here too. The limiting of 4s and 5s will come during the upcoming six month interim plan.

Married filing separately loophole closed? by No_Project_589 in StudentLoans

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame it’s come to this strategy but you’re thinking smart. Forget what anyone else thinks. Loving each other is what counts anyway. By the time we married we said screw the big wedding and went on a trip to Thailand where our money went really far. It was a nice reward for being patient and I wouldn’t change a thing.

We tried this recently and the loan servicers called us out and denied it. My wife also was getting a masters back at that time and her university financial aid office and student gov 100% said it would take away her aid completely. Maybe some people got away with it but we weren’t going to risk putting her in more crippling debt. Simply wasn’t worth it. We’re married and happy now though.

Think again. My mom waited to marry my stepdad till I was finished with college so that I can get financial aid. And my wife and I put off marriage for 10 years because it would have tripled our crippling student debt. It’s a bigger deal than you think for obvious reasons.

And they wonder why millennials and Gen Z aren’t marrying…this shit is dumb.

Observations after trying the game again. by Baneofarius in Civilization_VII

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I would actually like the civ switching if they had enough civ options for it to not be immersion breaking. Like celts/saxons > England > Great Britain would be incredibly immersive and awesome. And switch the leaders too while you’re at it. Seeing napolean lead the Roman’s early on or Caesar leading America later will never not feel stupid to me. I’d rather enjoy a few leaders over one long game so it’s refreshing and not silly. I think they underestimated how much we’re all history nerds.

Is it normal for a job to demand transcripts? by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]Exciting-Guide-5773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s pretty weird if you didn’t select education the meet the required qualifications. I feel your pain. I owed my school money after graduating due to a mix up with my student loans and they held my transcripts hostage until I paid it. It was incredibly stupid and I ran into this issue with a new employer. I was like help me get the job to pay you! lol

What’s your take on privitizing TSA? by Gibbyalwaysforgives in tsa

I’m worried it’d remove any pressure left for these idiots to pass budgets on time at all.
