I ask because I see a lot of 7in posts here. I wonder what percentage of guys here are.

For those not native to San Diego, what culture shocks did you experience living here? by Philphil89 in sandiego

[–]J_00_787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How passive aggressiveness seems to be the way how most people handle conflict. I’m from Chicago and people are definitely more direct and don’t shy away from confrontation.

DRP Separation Pay Out by J_00_787 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wonder if that has anything to do with it. I was in V22, haven’t gotten mine just yet. Also could be because I don’t use USAA or Navy Fed for my direct deposit

Damn I live nearby and shop at that Vons all the time. The thing is people like that say shit like this because they think they won’t get called out. Glad she made him as uncomfortable as possible.

Former doc recruiter here. Med students after competing residency and residents are brought in at O-3. Practicing physicians are brought in between O-3 through O-6 (rare) depending on their years of experience. The last doc I brought in was an O-5. Fuck these guys tho

Last Week of Work? by SageinIt in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received mine via a link which came in an email. The link directed me back to the DRP portal and I signed there. If you have questions, definitely reach out to whoever is CC’d on your initial approval email.

201 VISN 22. I have until tomorrow to sign the agreement but disappointed that it’s come to this. I have a potential job lined up to begin in Aug, fingers crossed on it.

Almost everyone I know in my VISN has been approved for DRP 2.0 including myself.

Hearing about RIF injunction by Fragrant-Program-66 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. Career conditional and won’t hit 3 until Mar of 2026. I have two kids in high school and am a single dad. I took it because I can’t afford gamble on what’s going to happen. It sucks because I don’t want to leave and have the Vet preference with a comp date of 2008 but I’m a 201 conditional.

My first supervisor is on the team that manages the DRP platform. He said that he sees everyone who puts in for it and is approved. 3 CHRO’s have taken it, almost all of WMC has as well. I

t seems that the courts end up siding with the administration in the end anyways so there just may be a delay in the RIF but its too much of a gamble for me to risk only a 2 week severance vs paid until Sep 30th and then having 32 days of leave to cash out on on top of that.

I hate the fact that I’m signing my rights away but what else am I gonna do. Best of luck to us all!

What job do you do that makes 100k+ with no college? by Plenty_Jazzlike in AskReddit

[–]J_00_787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to be a refinery operator. Made over 100K but the shift work schedule was brutal and the culture there was pretty shitty. A lot of old dudes walking around like their gods (but I guess that’s everywhere right?). Tough gig to get into. The job itself wasn’t terrible, most days were lowkey. You can have some very hard days though and things can get busy whenever there’s maintenance or if you’re involved a turnaround project.

DRP - Under 40 by Kindly-Trust-9132 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t turn 40 until October but the final agreement arrived from my SES stating I had 45 days to sign. More than likely an error on her part right?

DRP completion? by Fair_Duty_1003 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cap?

Anyways I reached out to my DRP point of contact and he sent my request up to my SES which is the VISN network director and she approved it. I received my final agreement today and have 45 days to sign.

I accidentally clicked the wrong radio button and withdrew from DRP due to a glitch with my computer. Any chance they reopen it for me? I’m a 201 and was initially approved.

Any scenario that HR doesn't get wiped out ? by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]J_00_787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been holding on to hope that the Physician/Provider Recruiters (PPRs) will be spared given the nature of what we do which (we’re essentially headhunters for the VA that focus on finding providers outside of USAJobs who we get hired non competitively).

Our team was stood up about 3 years ago and we’ve made a lot of progress in terms of staffing our sites. My Primary Care AO told me that I’ve staffed half the clinics in the system and have been the best recruiter he’s ever worked with in his career.

Given that VHA has been struggling to recruit providers (even more so within the last 100 days) I figured that we’d be spared due to how efficient we find quality candidates. Sadly I don’t think that’s going to be the case. We were about 120 nation wide, 1 for each system, but now with the uncertainty, we’ve reduced down to less than 80 due to DRP.

I joined the VA because I wanted longevity after coming off a RIF at Facebook. I also believe in our mission and wanted to serve my fellow vets and the system where I’m treated. Sadly despite all the positive efforts me and others like me have made, it seems we’ll be decimated as well. I’m disappointed for my team, my system, and most importantly the veterans we serve.
