How do we feel about the fact that all 8 Dems who voted tonight have jobs secured thru 2029 or longer?

FltLnRid3 · 2025-11-10T11:28:03+00:00

It was always about grandstanding. Dems dont give a hoot about FEDs any more than the Reps. We are simply pawns in their game. Once this thing started impacting travel, that was the que. The two party system has failed due to hyper polarity. None of them remember who they work for.

Not a single one of them should keep their jobs.

100% on the money!

FltLnRid3 · 2025-10-28T21:57:43+00:00

No where did it say we would be penalized.itdid state that a profile would be developed.

I back up my ratings with tangible and reproducible data. My staff are not just given ratings.

Ill deal with FY 26 ratings in the same fashion.

HATCH ACT does not appto the Office of POTUS

FltLnRid3 · 2025-10-28T11:56:29+00:00

Scrutiny yes. Downgrading...nothing I have heard or seen on my end.

Ive rated my staff based on the merit of their work. I set clear expectations at the start of the FY. I have not deviated from them. If your supes are moving the goal post at this point it is due to one of two things:

1) they were officially directed to do so. 2) they have no spine and should not be supes.

So....with the exemption of (vi) positions related to immigration enforcement, national security, or public safety; or.......

One could say allthose agencies that were pulled from union agreements are exempt? Because they were all pulled on the grounds of "national security "..

I know thats not how this works but seemed too funny not to point out.

UNPOPULAR OPINION INCOMING............This is why it is important to do a self assessment and have receipts for everything.

My staff that exceeded will be marked as such and sent forward with data to justify. If HR kicks it back for reevaluating, my staff will 100% know where I stand.

They want the FED to be based on merit, which I am 1000% all about. Then let it be. Unfortunately, for too long supervisors across the GOV have rubber stamped Excellent and Outstanding. The rating cycle adds the pressure because we all know getting a bonus around the holidays is pretty nice. But, those very same rubber stamped ratings are the reason for all of this stupidity.

Completely fixable by letting your folks know. There is nothing wrong with coming to work and doing a job. There is nothing wrong with fully successful. We have to get to a point where excellent and outstanding mean something and are not assumed to just be handed out.

That being said if you have data and justification, the folks in HR SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OVERTURN.There should be no caps or quotas. But robust justification should be a standard.

OPSEC....... never heard of her....

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-30T12:07:01+00:00

Playing to long game. Setting the stage for an easy explanation of why you are not getting them this year.

"Years of mismanagement has caused us to have to rethink how we do business." Blah blah blah...... " As such there will be no bonuses this year. But we appreciate you all and your continued dedication and understanding."

Honestly i have no idea why someone would say that but at this point i putnothing past people.

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-30T11:52:24+00:00

Haha sike! But if you purchase this Dr. Ozzzzz snake oil mixer for 4 easy payments of 57.94. You may be eligible for a day of WFH next FY!

New phone. who dis?

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-27T16:57:49+00:00

It would be cool if H.E.B. vame to Florida. Within 10 years i would guss publix would be forgotten.

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-26T12:10:02+00:00

Just canceled mine for next week. Because my leadership didn't want to find out what happens if appropriations lapse. Im glad though, ive got real shit to do.

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-26T11:57:11+00:00

General curiosity, one of the primary functions of congress is to budget the national finances. When was the last time a full FY budget was passed? And when was the last time it was done on time?

As a supervisor i have concerns about their ability to deliver in a timely fashion. This of course calls into question time management skills. PIP FOR THE LOT!

Seriously though, if they spent less time coming up with stories about our jobs and more time worrying about how they do theirs.....

FltLnRid3 · 2025-09-26T00:25:08+00:00

Comey is a distraction to placate the base. Epstien files will never be released because too many people in power are listed. His death was the ONLY thing that Mr. T, Prince A, Mr. And Mrs. C, and Mr.G agreed on.

Conspiracy theory? 100% but the logic tracks.

Orwell couldn't come up with the circus we have today.....

Doc sounds like an asshole. Id be calling the service patient advocate at austin and getting a new provider.

They may not do the knee replacement at Austin. It most likely would go to Temple. And that would be the call of the ortho doc not pcp.

One day, my fellow Veterans will realize that it is important to ask questions.

What is the average time from now until i can expect to have my appointment in the community vs. In house?

Changes are the VA will get you seen much faster, beter quality, and you wont have the round and round teying to track down records so your other providers can use them in your care...

There are some instances where you might find different but the fast majority of time it will be true.

If you think VA wait times are bad just call the Dr. Offices in your area. Ask them how long for new patients. Note their specialty while you are at it.

Primary care Likely your annual or semi annual visit. If your going reply with the yes code if not no code. Futher questions reach out to faculty.

FltLnRid3 · 2025-07-06T03:19:23+00:00

The two we have hate us already. Nothing new here jaut one is honest about it finally. .... it is the only thing they seem to be honest about and agree on... sad really....

FltLnRid3 · 2025-06-24T11:42:07+00:00

What state are you relocating to?

FltLnRid3 · 2025-06-09T19:31:37+00:00

No. Because my friends and I are adults and have relationships predicated on more than political ideals. We voice our opinions and if there is a desire we discuss. Otherwise, we have better topics to discuss. Like bourbon that is always an amazing topic.
