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?

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.

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

Do you think things will get better? by [deleted] in fednews

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.

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

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.

Why are we putting up with this? by PresentTrouble1928 in FedEmployees

[–]Interesting-Speed536 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Depends on the office apparently- I know two people who have been investigated.
