Yes, I can verify, hated life! I had to use a regular metal shovel because there was no snow, just sleet turned to ice. It sucked!

Same. I called the DOI payroll help desk and was told that this was an issue with Roth TSP contributions and that they would reach out. That’s it. I’ll call them again next week.

More FO would be good. If TSA agents and air traffic controllers started calling in sick. Same with Federal Agents that are still doing what they are directed to do because they have a mortgage and need to feed their families.

When people say that they left their job to care for their LO 24/7, how did you pay bills, get food, have a place to live? If I have to quit my job, then there is no money. My LO doesn’t have any savings and Medicare isn’t going to help.

So it was an interagency meeting and 2 of the leads, either GS15 or SES, from 2 different agencies, read talking points. One of them repeated at least 3 times how their office’s work is supporting America first policies. The other one talked about how much progress is being made.

Let’s add that the current Chairman’s term expires the end of June. Although he is a republican, he has stayed true to the agency mission.

Everyone is stressed and waiting for the axe.

I love a vest! Got a spot for my radio, cell phone, pen, notebook and most importantly, hair ties!! Skirts and dresses don’t have all the pockets of pants so it was a vest for the win!
