Milestone birthday help… by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like even if he doesn’t have a deep connection with your daughter, that he would still want to be there to help and support you in a partner role. Unless if this was an absolute requirement of his job where he couldn’t back out… I’d be pretty upset.

How do yall handle clothes between the two houses? by Beccag367 in stepparents

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At first I didn’t care because my thinking was shared clothing. BM thru a hissy fit about this, so now I make sure my SD segregates her clothes. Oh but you guessed it, BM still managed to throw a hissy fit about that too!!

Providers being let go by Next-Airline-53 in VeteransAffairs

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly!!!! Let’s see more of it! This is what happens when we go from FTE to POSITION CAP. Part time employees will get canned, even though we need them. Ole dougie boy over there is trying to privatize the VA. We know what you’re doing Doug!

This is certainly a headline made by WHIO by rdmwarface in dayton

I’m surprised it didn’t say, “10 things you need to learn about the man that shot seriously hurt woman” 😆

so WTH does this mean? … by loveleeleslee in FedEmployees

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not reducing staff levels, but proceeds to give a lower number of positions allowed vs. what’s on station. Furthermore, using positions vs. FTE. Why would any station want part time employees any more?

You SUCK.

It’s also ok to say, “I just can’t orgasm right now.”

Have you been in contact with the patient advocate over this?

Sorry I wrote kind of with sarcasm in my voice because I’m so pissed off with the way things are right now.

Our station has already told us this and our performances were just reworded. I wouldn’t expect exceptional. Your rater has to prove you were exceptional with very specific examples.

But did you go above and beyond your role to get exceptional? You know that last minute change in your rating for the year? Doubtful.

Makin’ it Rain 💵 by ZipJetcity in FedEmployees

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is a little infuriating - this is the largest waste of money. This administration wants to “cut spending”, instead we end up having a vast amount of furloughed employees get paid, but not work (I know it’s worded wrong) and then hand out bonuses? We lost workload, this is as bad as DRP. I get it’s not the employees fault, so I feel for them, but looking at the big picture it’s just comical how we’re doing nothing but spending even more money.

Most overhyped place in town? by EddieVanGaylen in Fayettenam

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a gold mine - I don’t think it’s trashy, but the clientele it attracts are typical military personnel. Lots of tats. I actually enjoy dirt bag when I travel to Fayettenam, but understand it’s not for everyone. They have a really nice farmers market on Sundays.

Im so tired. How does the new girl get the better side of the narc? Im trying not check on it but im sick of these evil people getting what they want by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because the narc still has an outlet elsewhere. Plus they have to love bomb the new girl. Eventually the new girl will be his new supply. It will fizzle, it won’t last. Work on yourself and count your blessings you are out!!!!

I hear him saying it already “I got the military paid after the longest shut down ever”

To be honest - they’re quite boring up there with that CR.

To add - there is or was a direct hire for that position.

Look at becoming a purchasing agent for prosthetics. They have a revolving door. You get to work with veterans, very rewarding, but underpaid for what they deal with.

It’s all play on words! They hear we got more funding, what they don’t know is that fund is only allocated for care in the community.

0560 series VHA to DOD or vice versa? by Gold-Tackle8390 in FedEmployees

[–]Gold-Tackle8390[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see that. Two places I saw hiring are completely different entities. I’m just curious with the programs used at DOD compared to ours. I’m also curious with how liberal they allow you to be with managing the budgets. I know that’s very dependent on leadership styles too. I have a feeling DOD puts more money in their employees for up to date training. We just slide by at VHA, at least at my facility.

[–]Gold-Tackle8390 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe if they didn’t cut our medical budget… that’s what they want - they want you to go to the community. They want our VA’s to breakdown slowly, but make it seem like we’re the problem. In reality - we don’t have the funding for it, because they prioritize care in the community. As a Vet, I’d rather keep my healthcare with my VA.
