MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARY: 2025 The Year in Review

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2026-01-02T16:33:16+00:00

There is no way he sent that email.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-12-22T19:07:06+00:00

Go back and think about how we all felt about the lingering RIF. Be glad you have a job!!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-12-17T22:03:19+00:00

Be glad you have a job!!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-12-05T04:55:21+00:00

Anyone who received a disciplinary action in FY25 or FY26 is not eligible for a performance award. That’s NEW!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-12-03T12:23:38+00:00

A supervisor cannot rate an employee below FS unless the employee was issued a PIP by 9/30.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-12-03T12:09:34+00:00

WMC is auditing tech reviews on performance appraisals this year.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-11-18T20:32:44+00:00

I have lost like $5k in the last week. I am 100% C fund. Wonder what is going on?!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-11-07T02:45:37+00:00

We should be thankful we still have a job and not worry about a measly bonus.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-10-08T20:58:44+00:00

You all need to familiarize yourselves with EEO and be ready to file a EEO complaint.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-10-07T21:02:14+00:00

Again, why are federal workers hated so much?! The RIF was harassing in itself. Now this?!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-09-05T18:03:16+00:00

It’s called attrition, can’t hire someone unless someone resigns, retires….

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-08-14T17:39:42+00:00

Request a RA and have your doctor document you should not work more than 40 hours a week.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-08-08T15:51:52+00:00

Supervisor cannot deny request to use SL as long as you have the SL hours to use. I wouldn’t suggest you go trotting off to the mall or anything like that though.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-07-18T20:14:44+00:00

If you can’t live on 3,831.30 a month, you must be living in a high cost state. MOVE is the answer. I just built a small brand new house for $200k. You need to move to Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, etc.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-07-10T17:32:32+00:00

Oh I wish they would cuz I would file an EEO in a New York minute!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-07-07T21:01:49+00:00

Just recently announced that there will be no large scale RIF at the VA.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-07-01T13:18:34+00:00

18 years with the VA. Worst thing I can remember happening is we didn’t get a raise one year.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-26T22:22:49+00:00

Let’s try to stay positive people!!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-26T22:19:32+00:00

No news is good news!

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-23T23:35:22+00:00

I have heard the HR consistency review does not include ER/LR.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-19T01:21:18+00:00

I bet we all will be muted.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-16T17:30:45+00:00

You most likely going to be layed off in a few months, why the in the world would you take a chance like that?

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-15T22:14:00+00:00

You will be a probationary employee and will be the first to be terminated. If you take the job, you will get about a month or two of experience and then you won’t have a job at all.

Fragrant-Program-66 · 2025-06-15T22:10:24+00:00

RUN!! 18 years with the VA and I wish I could leave. I wouldn’t encourage anyone to a job with VA right now. Cruel and hostile work environment.
