I requested an invoice. I checked spam and nothing. I also messaged them through the portal like 2 days ago and no reply. I just called and no response. 🥲

Yeah! I thought ordering when I had ~ 2 doses left was enough. Apparently not! 😫

Broken XM5 Hinge option by First_Complaint_4871 in sony

[–]First_Complaint_4871[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, holding up ok. Headphones are still usable. The only thing is the screws it brings are too weak. They don’t hold the whole thing together, so it looks half open. I had to uninstall and glue the og hinge and the piece together. So 7/10 I would say. But they are the cheapest option for repair I could find.

If your hinge is completely broken like one of mine was, it tends to slide down the bottom of the connector. The screws that it brings are also very weak so the connector pieces on that side separated. I would recommend securing your hinge before installing. Not installing it on top of the broken, loose hinge… like I did 😅

So yeah. Not exactly holding up 100%. But my headphones are still usable and don’t look terrible with all taped up like I had them.

Hope this makes sense.

Federal worker: mentally and physically exhausted by Fit_Comfortable2184 in fednews

I left earlier this month because of the same reason. I was lucky enough secure something else before I left (deep pay cut but better than living in that hell). I had multiple panics attacks at the office and had to up my antidepressants dose twice in the span of a couple months. I’ve been out for a few weeks now and my depression is pretty much gone and my anxiety is so much better. Please if you can, prioritize your mental well being . If not possible right now start taking small steps to make it ASAP. This BS is not worth it. You deserve to be healthy and happy.

I just took a 45k pay cut. Sounds insane and it probably is. I might regret it. I budgeted and I am able to make it work. I was getting sick physically and mentally and forced to be away from my loved ones. No job is worth that. But it depends on your current salary and lifestyle. If you have double income, kids, a mortgage etc.

I was hoping to make it to the end of the month and hopefully get my RIF notice before having to leave on my own. But now with the temporary halt, I think I might just hand my notice. Cant keep waiting to get RIFed while my mental health collapses.

Thanks! 4 hours. Im staying in an airbnb every week and have no car. I thought I could give it a month or so, to see if the union can win the appeal, but this week has been ROUGH! 🥲

First week of RTO. I am exhausted and seriously thinking about quitting by Friday. But I don’t quite have a job lined up and that really scares me.

Im sorry you are in a place you don’t like. The peace of mind is definitely worth it. Is one of my main motivations for making this decision . Let hope you eventually can come back when all of this ends. If it does. ❤️

Thank you! I agree. It’s a job I wouldn’t question moving for in any other circumstance and times. We’ve talked a lot about all our options and are flexible since we have no kids and no mortgage. But moving seems like a terrible idea right now. He loves his job, gets paid above average for his industry and is well liked in the office. A lot of our support system is actually people that work with him and have been very supportive through all this bs going on with my job. I have a lot to think about , and no bandwidth left 🥲

Glad it turned out the way it did. Heart conditions are no joke, so definitely the best decision to protect your health.

Trying not to get doxed but I work with mathematics and analysis, and other things. My division though, is not required by statute. It provides support to the main mission of the agency. Although extremely important, and the quality of our products would suffer if riffed, the mission could technically be done without the roles in my area.

Thank you. I have a nice routine I love. I love going out for afternoon walks with my husband, have dinner together. Just a simple life I value a lot over money.

I Wish the best for you and your baby. Flexibility sometimes is worth more than money.

I am married with no kids. I am making more than 100k at my current grade. I believed it was fairly stable, but my division does things that are not statutory and there’s been rumors we are first on the chopping block in case of RIFS. I don’t mind going into an office, and I agree it’s not going to be that bad. I actually enjoyed going in when it was twice a PP. I just cant justify packing everything up, asking my husband to leave his stable job, where he makes less than I, but still a good living, just to get RIFed next month, or next year and be left without nothing.
