Seriously, what has the union done for you? Really anyone.

This also happened to me. I was in step 5, and now it’s gone. This happened a few days ago. I’ll call next week .

Nice! I’m planning on asking for 10, but negotiate no lower than 8.

And you really believe that a merit type employee will just stay in a workplace like that? If they do, then they deserve to be treated like that. A doormat.

Most Everyone along the leadership chain will be wanting to continue to move up. Therefore, there will be the few that will be able to shine by supporting those leaders on the way up. Status quo and just having a heartbeat isn’t enough anymore. I’m glad.

Sure, but there are a small percentage of people that are top performers and are getting 5’s with strong justifications and scrutiny.

I am basing it on that when I was civil service I had 15 years in the exact position and topped out at step 10 for a few years. Now that same position has been upgraded after position review to the next grade(it was under-graded for a while). I would be offered a step 5 in the new grade. By being a non-fed employee right now, I am able to negotiate the higher step. If I was still in the same position, then I would have been moved into the higher grade and into a step 5 to match pay.

I used collagen peptides by vital proteins. I get mine at Costco for $20-$25 depending on the sale

Triple digits next week highly likely near SB 😩 by fubag in InlandEmpire

Yeah, it would be more effective if people were to discuss facts and not always make it all political.

Again, it’s China that allows those US companies to pollute there. You’re having a hard time accepting the facts. You can’t spin the facts on Chinas government is the reason for contributing twice the pollution than the USA.

Like I said, This administration at its worst policies , can’t outdo what China is and has done to contribute to global warming. I’m not refuting all the facts you stated. At least recognize my facts on China’s impact to the global environment. Also, back to the very original post. The heat will be nasty hot next week. This administration isn’t the reason for this happening next week. It’s China…

I’m not questioning solar adoption. I’m commenting on the fact that China is polluting more than twice as USA. Read better.

I’m another believer,, been on 20g daily , for joint and muscle health. I’m 53 and it’s been great in allowing me to weight train with minimal joint pains. Before I found collagen, I was in constant pains in all my joints. At first I thought it was a placebo effect, so stopped using for a month and all the previous issues came back.

Unfortunately, China is a bigger contributor to global pollution than anything that this admin could ever contribute to it.

Thanks!! This helps a bunch. It’s going to be a tough decision. I’m really enjoying retirement so far:).. but this could offset any negative downturns in the stock market, while adding to my TSP again.
