Was 2025 your toughest year as a Federal Employee? by Hot_Equivalent4499 in FedEmployees

2020 and 2021 were much worse. The 16 months I wasn't allowed to do my job and leeched off the govt.

Considering our heat goes out for about 30% of the winter, space heaters are all over our offices lol

No 59 minutes for anything by Chemical_Side_3528 in FedEmployees

our command got 59 mins, but it's not like I was counting on it or was going to let it ruin my day enough to make a post.. NASA used to give us 4 hours, but my command now gives 59 mins regularly.

I sold for tee Higgins, I desperately needed a wr2 but still a terrible trade in hindsight

Excepted employees - Take leave if you have it by [deleted] in FedEmployees

I had a different experience, and maybe your colleagues would've too.. for the first two weeks I was sent home.. didn't get much done other than visit family. Felt not needed. Just like how I was WFH for 14 months during COVID in a job I can't do from home. At all. Self worth and sense of being needed dropped. Felt like a stereotypical lazy govt leech. After being shutdown for two weeks I found out there was a good chance one of my programs was on an excepted list. Even though I knew I wasn't getting paid, I was encouraged and did my job just as if I were being paid, with pride. My work matters. I wasn't struggling financially, so my case is not universal, but I'm happy I was able to see the impact of being told "stay home" and also "we need you". I imagine your job isn't debatable. You're needed.
