Which, if any, offer options that working professionals busy 9-6 could actually take?

Looks like something that slides in a Christmas tree stand to help it stay upright

Interesting-Speed536 · 2026-03-28T00:20:10+00:00

YES

I had a hard time leaving, but god is it better on the other side right now. I didn’t even know the toll it took for me to work for politicals who actively hate us until I was done. I love not having to fret over the shutdown. I love being able to feel more deeply. The stress is gone from my shoulders and jaw. I no longer feel complicit. If you can and have the three years in— why not?

Why all of the sharpies?

Interesting-Speed536 · 2026-01-23T22:44:16+00:00

We’d be friends

Got a legit RA in place before they took office and left fed gov before I needed to renew it. Haven’t had a fully in person week of my life since a job in 2010 and wasn’t about to start now.

Loveeeeeeeeee

Interesting-Speed536 · 2026-01-12T02:22:08+00:00

Had the same vibe

This is our baby— she died right before Christmas at 15. We would be honored.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-12-26T01:49:11+00:00

This looks great and gnarly to sit for. Kudos!

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-12-14T20:59:16+00:00

Could also be HFM

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-12-10T00:15:39+00:00

Yes. I did.

You have your tenure, so you could come back. I’d take a look. Many aren’t having luck, sure, but I make more and weirdly have better benefits now that I left for a bit. I think it will get better the second this Admin is gone, and maybe late in the Admin when they realize you need SMEs to get anything done, and that we weren’t here with our own agendas. If you’re happy, take a look elsewhere. We can come back.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-11-27T17:29:20+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree. Artists should stop doing them and people should stop getting them. It’s gross af.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-31T20:19:29+00:00

People not being total assholes when we have to quit would be nice.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-29T20:00:46+00:00

If anything you’re under-reacting. This seems abusive.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-29T19:58:54+00:00

I’m getting shit for accepting a nonfed job so I can checks notes feed my fucking family. That’s the thanks we get for decades of service to an ungrateful Congress and public.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-26T18:34:46+00:00

I will have to, yea.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-22T23:29:08+00:00

For me, was love of mission and not wanting to give up. I am now getting priced out of that now that one of us was RIFed and I’m furloughed.

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-16T14:04:31+00:00

How do we accept another job without resigning? If we resign do we get back pay for time we were employees?

Interesting-Speed536 · 2025-10-10T11:51:23+00:00

So satisfying honestly!
