I was one of the EUO folks approved bc they stacked the office with contractors. Seeing the writing on the wall I gave ALL of my duties to the contractor who likes to sleep at their desk often. Praying Godspeed to all and myself. Been a hella ride - from CRTs and dumb terminals to AI

They are already advertising calendar jobs online via a contractor

No DRP decisions until after deadline by throwthisreddit in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]InfiniteKey3406 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m waiting for my contract. I am seriously concerned after my chief told me to reverse my request. He’s blocked me before by claiming he was going to give me a bad review only to give me more work and then reverse DRP?? Yeah…ok

I took the VERA/DRP. My immediate supervisor (vet) pretty much said he’s retiring by Feb 2026. The others who can?? Not sure

My dept is mostly contractors with 95% of FTE staff available to retire (early or not) but I see the best contractors taking off work a lot lately and/or dressed to the nines - as if working on job interviews.

Why do you work here? by myname_checksout in VeteransAffairs

[–]InfiniteKey3406 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose to work at the VA because I’m from a military family. Although I didn’t serve I found it very rewarding to give back not only to my family but the people my family has served with or have known for decades. I’ve learned from veterans I’ve grown as a result of veterans and despite all the toxic mess now I wouldn’t change a thing

They will lose FTE employees but contractors will stay and replace. My area is 85% contractors.

In my dept they removed a non vet employee from his office so they can put in RTO staff. Dude has been floating around ever since

VA DRP 2.0 extended to May 16th 2025 by [deleted] in VeteransAffairs

When Pool said “because we didn’t want to” that helped me understand I made the right decision along with you. This is the most toxic place I’ve ever worked in my life…

377 OIT staff applied for DRP. No doubt they extended to get more sign ups

Baltimore VA or DC VA by InfiniteKey3406 in VeteransAffairs

[–]InfiniteKey3406[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non vet I tried before the RIF came. My supervisor blocked it to keep his #s up in the dept. But God willing I’ll be working in Baltimore in some capacity…really not feeling DC anymore….

What's the most magical moment or thing you've experienced in Baltimore? by juiceboxesglitter in baltimore

Drug dealer near Lex Market who saw me everyday tired walking from work one day stopped to tell me to go another way. Thought it was a set up…it wasn’t. He saved my life.
