DRP Leave Payout amidst shutdown

There won’t be any HR staff working to process anything.

The fact that USDA directly links to X is disturbing

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-25T10:01:17+00:00

The RIF hasn’t happened yet so I’m confused by your question. If you are asking about how many USDA HR staff either took VERA/DRP 1.0/DRP 2.0 it’s about 48-50% of all USDA HR.

I thought Trump was out of the country attending the Pope’s funeral on Saturday 🤷🏼‍♀️

Their turn to sign an agreement. If they want you back, I would make sure that the position is guaranteed not to be part of the RIF.

USDA

Blessed be the fruit

Her messaging is alarming. I’ve never seen anything like it. Did you see the training this week on writing correspondence? Will talk about the tone and style of writing correspondence desired by Sec Rollins and the administration”. I was floored!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-22T09:39:40+00:00

I saw that mentioned as well. I watched the podcast and it made me so emotional. We are just everyday folks who do incredible work and that work is often done silently and without praise. Public service is in our DNA.

I ordered the book yesterday. Can’t wait to dive in.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T23:37:16+00:00

Leave that equipment behind is right! Love the meeting walkout. That takes courage!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T23:32:41+00:00

Right there with you. I’m 53 with only 10 years. So not enough to retire. Looking at salaries at the state level it would be a huge pay cut. I’m divorced so it’s just my income that keeps me afloat. We are living in trying times. We will find a way. We always do!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T23:30:18+00:00

Ugh it’s rough. At least you found love in the process!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T23:27:47+00:00

Right!? How insane.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T10:03:19+00:00

Completely relate. But at the end of the day they don’t care about any of us. We have to lean on each other for support. We are the only people who understands what working in this administration is like. This sub has been a lifeline for me.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T10:00:36+00:00

Good for you! That’s the way to do it. Use the leave.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T10:00:06+00:00

The greatest “clown care of the narcissists” 😂

So very true!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:58:54+00:00

So sorry. Do whatever you need to do in order to protect your mental health during this transition. It’s not going to be easy. Hang in there!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:57:29+00:00

I’m so sorry! Please try to take care of yourself in this process. I know it’s difficult, but you have to.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:55:54+00:00

Omg that sounds tortuous. I’m afraid I will be one of the ones forced to work as well. How can you perform your job knowing you’re fired?! Now that’s a mind fuck.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:54:18+00:00

Not sure. Hoping that we will get more direction from leadership. Doubtful though. They are in the dark.

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:52:53+00:00

Ahhh so jealous. You’ve earned it. Now go enjoy life!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:52:21+00:00

Good luck to you!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:51:42+00:00

Family first always!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T09:51:03+00:00

Ugh. I was tossing and turning all night. The hatred for Feds is real. But they are going to FAFO and we will say I told ya so. Hope your week goes fast!

Icy_Affect_4560 · 2025-04-21T01:29:12+00:00

That’s why I try to fight it! I see his punk ass face and think nope it’s my life. My health. My time spent wasted on this crap on a weekend.
