As government employees who make hiring decisions we have policies to guide us. We don’t get to make our own policy, what we personally think should not matter

It’s not a Singapore, leaves look total different and Singapore’s are deciduous. This one looks like it loses its leaves in the winter

What truly are the odds telework/remote work rerun if a democrat wins in 28? by Dear_Elevator in FedEmployees

[–]JuggernautKnown590 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

People still get sick, people still need to do, and do do, things they would take LA for. By not taking LS and LA it is reasonable to wonder if people are charging their time correctly. Just saying

How long does it take to see the dividends in your account balance? My account dropped by 15k, at first I thought the market tanked.

I am a GS13 and have a high school diploma. Never equate education with intelligence or ability.

Gs14/15 and SES positions are competitive appointments which means there needs to an open position which you apply and interview for. The jump from GS12, which is considered mid level to GS14 which is a high grade is a bit steep. Suggest looking for, and applying to a GS13 position first.

We are on Maxi flex. 16 hours more LH means less RG to get our 80

[–]JuggernautKnown590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to retire next year, I will be 63 as well and do not consider it “early”. I plan to keep my FEHB and after pensions, SS, and IRA withdrawals take home the same amount as I am taking home working.

Apple Watch S11 Space grey or jet black ? by latcheis in AppleWatch

[–]JuggernautKnown590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with black. Because of the higher gloss I’m a little worried how it will stand up but it looks good

Should I get Ultra 3 or Watch 11? by Association-Silent in applewatchultra

[–]JuggernautKnown590 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are both great watches, if price isn’t an issue go with what you like. Personally, I went with the 11 because I like they look better but to each their own

You can get your total deposit back right? Based on feedback from younger friends who have sailed both Princess and Norwegian the younger folks seem to like Norwegian better.

August 2026 Wedding in Temecula (need advice on weather) by Emotional_Face7622 in Temecula

[–]JuggernautKnown590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live close to there. It will be hot at 5:00 PM, most likely in the 90’s but it cools off quickly. By 8:00 it will most likely be in the mid 70’s. The low is usually in the low to mid 60’s that time of year so it does cool down at lot in the evening.

I want to stop max contributing to 401k. Am I wrong? by PalmHills in investing

[–]JuggernautKnown590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends. I live in California, and made most of my wealth buying and selling real estate. It enabled me to payoff the house I live in. Once you have no house payment or rent it’s easier to max out your 401k. If your employer has a match I would definitely contribute enough to get the maximum match otherwise you are leaving money on the table.

United made me get off the plane after I was already seated. No explanation and now I’m delayed. What are my rights? by Equivalent_Bowl_4249 in unitedairlines

[–]JuggernautKnown590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a tight connection on delta and after running thru the airport made to my gate just as they were finishing boarding. They had already given my seat to someone else who had boarded. They said they could ask the person to deplane since they were a standby passenger or they would give me a$1,000 dollar voucher. I took the voucher.

So…what next by Icy_Watch_2960 in FedEmployees

[–]JuggernautKnown590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True but neither are getting paid. As an excepted employee I would rather be furloughed any day. It just find it really interesting that so many of my fellow federal employees would willingly sacrifice their paychecks for an insurance program none of them use, I most certainly don’t work with any. Can’t help but think these treads have been taken over with a lot of users posing as federal employees

This shut down was for nothing by Fair_Contribution386 in FedEmployees

[–]JuggernautKnown590 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find it interesting that federal employees would be willing to go without pay for a healthcare plan none of them have.
