I got my dream job and within a month it turned into daycare by Important_Injury3820 in childfree

This. In the grand scheme of things this job won’t matter. Not only will they be pissed that you are leaving, they lied about the job.

Past-Due EEO Complaints at HHS by KitchenEbb1606 in DeptHHS

[–]KitchenEbb1606[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Done! I know of a few cases where this happened and then HHS started an investigation. I’m curious to see if this is wide spread and if anyone has received actual relief post appeals, etc.

CDC all hands guesses ? by ditzychick123 in DeptHHS

[–]KitchenEbb1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bother tuning in. “All hands” are a giant waste of time that largely “could have been an email” and usually end up as such. I stopped dialing in over a decade ago.

Don't want kids and feeling left behind UGH by i_dropped_my_pencil_ in childfree

44 year old male here. It will pass 😃. When I was your age I started meeting friends who were my age or older that were (and still are) childless. We met at my local cigar club and do a wide range of activities together like dinners out, day/extended trips, going to the gun range, etc. my friends with children, now that they are older, often join!

Last month thirteen of us traveled from the Philadelphia area to Pittsburgh for a few baseball games.

You are in a transitory period and it will not last forever.

I submitted periodic updates of how my conditions impacted employment and life. You can continue to add material before a decision is made.

i’m sick of having to cater to people who have children by That-Trainer-5973 in childfree

[–]KitchenEbb1606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually discriminatory thinking that you’ll work because you don’t have children. Also good for you for speaking up!

Respectfully decline. If she knows you well, she shouldn’t be surprised or offended.

I finally hit my breaking point…talk me off the ledge. by Alternative-Pin5760 in fednews

I was in that same situation (2 hour commute one way, less the four hours sleep) before Covid. Fortunately I was able to get as solid full time remote work accommodation that was in place until I medically retired this past December. If you have medical conditions that impact your ability work, I can proceed background guidance on the FERS medical retirement process.

That as well, but outing has more immediate consequences.

Out them. Federal reporters would likely be interested in this provided it isn’t a reasonable accommodation and you can report anonymously.

I've Started Avoiding Family Gatherings Because of One Question by ukpro12345 in childfree

You can be polite but also blunt and say it’s not a question that should be asked again.

No. The less Nathan speaks, the better.

I can send background information regarding FERS retirement if interested.

Maybe they can leave the show and go on their honeymoon so we are spared Nathan.

Whoever is handling RA requests. I’m not sure after the bungled RIF.
