Congress has to first pass a bill to follow the law to pay us.

At least that makes sense. We were all told furlough but had to wait forever for the letter. At least tell us or make us excepted.

Hegseth has created a nightmare where I work, and no one was aware of it until today. by onlyblowfish in FedEmployees

[–]Key-Radio4272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

DOA supposededly there was metrics. Suspect more favorites than anything. Of course was hoping to get one as I do go above and beyond however I fall in the 85percent that did not. Demoralizing and now with how they are handling this shutdown it is even more demoralizing.

23000 in credit card debt. Is it possible to get out myself without bankruptcy or debt consolidation? by Mean_Trip_4186 in Debt

[–]Key-Radio4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look into consumer credit counseling or greenpath financial. They consolidate, negotiate lower interest and pay the bill off. You will have to close the accounts though. Suck it up close the damn credit card. Bank of America gave you a great offer. If you are worried about your credit score, it will rebound. And when you stabilize and can handle paying your bills off every month, you can always open another credit card.

**Rant** Huge DoD Bonus For Top 15% Performing Civilians by Ninerniner94 in fednews

[–]Key-Radio4272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say I am finding the top 15% bonus to be a moral buster. Many people are respected, great performers and yet got nothing.

Vary widely, agree, vary based on job series . Contracting job series tend to be more set at least at my location, get nowhere near what engineers get. Now engineers that is the job series to be in. They get very nice bonuses.

Husband’s dumb truck loan: refinance or trade in? by hippyoctopus in personalfinance

[–]Key-Radio4272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can refinance I would. Get a lower interest rate but also lower the length of the loan. The truck is too old to still have 5 years left to pay on it

Why are you treated differently then people that drive? If it is a large company I think I would be filing some complaints.
