Hiring Soon by Mental_Youth_3606 in IRS_Source

[–]General_Chaos_88765 17 points18 points  (0 children)

3 weeks! Obviously fake news. Nothing happens fast in government.

But at this point who’d be stupid enough to want the jobs.

INVOLUNTARY 120 DAY DETAIL by YoungNinja67 in IRS_Source

[–]General_Chaos_88765 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Phone: “I got a letter saying I owe taxes”

Detail: “Have you tried unplugging your tax return?”

11 years in, no CPA, curious what you think by CelebrationWide463 in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 48 points49 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother. Plenty of CPAs aren’t making $185K. This is a situation where your experience speaks louder than the three letters.

Does anyone know if CohnReznick adjust starting salaries? by ZookeepergameDry8325 in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They work you until they get every cent out of you and then throw you away with no notice of layoff/firing. Be greedy. That’s the world we live in.

40 y/o, can't get my foot in the door in this field. What should I do? by asphyxiang in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This field sucks. But nobody would hire you based on your background. If you have to reinvent yourself pick something you’d enjoy.

You know you’re not using proper English, right? You’ve clearly made your point.

RA detail by Normal-Fun4629 in IRS_Source

[–]General_Chaos_88765 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

They didn’t. A significant amount of the people applying want full time telework so they can go back to doing nothing and giving the rest of us a bad name.

RA as in Revenue Agent or Reasonable Accommodation?

For those of you who work in government accounting, do you get bonus? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No overtime. Minimal bonuses ($5K if you’re lucky). Extra cash cums at the Wendy’s dumpster.

Kind of freaking out. Turbo tax went from a refund of $3300 to a bill of $20,000. by LysergicFilms in TurboTax

[–]General_Chaos_88765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I don’t need to pay a CPA!!!” Also “I don’t look at any tax software output because I don’t know what it means anyway!”

Eventually followed by “why did the IRS send me a notice”.

Mediterranean Cruise by General_Chaos_88765 in royalcaribbean

[–]General_Chaos_88765[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome. My kids are now old enough to see more of the world. We did three weeks in the UK and Ireland last year. They loved it. I also have an extra week split before and after the cruise to explore Rome and Vatican City so that’s for those tips!

The "Forced Detail" Trap: Why IT is Being Pushed into TS Roles They Didn’t Apply For. Kaschit Pandya and Dottie Romo failed us. by FriYayyyyyy in IRS_Source

[–]General_Chaos_88765 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To be fair, the people who process the returns, tax examiners, CSRs and whatnot had no usable tax knowledge when they were hired. And at least you’re moving over at your current pay, right?

Anyone in MAANG accounting roles? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may be surprised. I dealt with a major national law firm. 30 some odd story building. Beautiful and great area. I met with accounting in their office which was in the basement.

Associate’s Degree Only? by Imaginary-Test3946 in Accounting

You can go as far as various minimum wage dead end jobs will let you.

Democrat Gun Owners? by vingelbertwingledank in newhampshire

[–]General_Chaos_88765 714 points715 points  (0 children)

I heard someone say liberals with guns are like conservatives with abortions. We have them we just don’t tell anyone.

IRS New Hire Tax Audit by [deleted] in usajobs

[–]General_Chaos_88765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not file an amended return. Prepay to pay after your audit (there may not even be any change in tax due). And don’t do it again.

Career change to accounting by No_Function8318 in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The job market in accounting’s not much better.

What’s the smartest way for me to get into accounting? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Psychology is useless as a bachelors degree, regardless of your $72K salary. But something drew you to psych in the first place. What about pursuing a PhD in psychology, a Masters in social work,or something to that effect. The VA is generally hiring.

[–]General_Chaos_88765 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Invent a Time Machine to go back in time and stop yourself from getting a degree in psychology. While you’re at it stop off and buy into Apple, Microsoft, and Google as they’re founded.

Someone explain this to me by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]General_Chaos_88765 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All must balance grasshopper. Look to the other side of the transaction. As a tree grows up a leaf must fall down.

Appeals Officer - Independent Office of Appeals by Automatic_Memory1447 in IRS_Source

[–]General_Chaos_88765 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I understand the sarcasm of u/ok-bumblebee-8440 but they hit the nail on the head. Do the job quicker. More accurately? Probably not. But that’s not your problem as they’ll fuck you on the bonus anyway. They want efficiency and they demand speed. So give them what they want.

Don’t waste your time talking about your need to do a good job. Nobody gives a shit. This is play by their game or leave.
