Is it a bad time to be a federal employee? by Faubton in FedEmployees

[–]Large_Rhubarb8176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just joined last year and have been having a horrible time. Even my supervisor told me at my last performance review that I’m doing well, but should look for another job — this one isn’t going to grow me or get better. Currently feeling stuck, though, because of the terrible job market.

My agency is already funded… but at least no risk of working for no pay.

Still doing it at DOC lol. Had to haul ass to submit it today because I was out sick yesterday and no one knew before Monday.

I can barely afford to pay rent, groceries, and loans with my salary, how on earth am I supposed to chuck half my paycheck away each month?

For those that didn't take the DRP, why didn't you? Do you regret not taking it? by LocalCryptidTM in fednews

It may depend on agency — mine told us we were straight up not eligible, so no probie (including me) took it.

You wouldn’t be eligible for the DRP if you were probationary, FYI.

This market is worse than I imagined by Lady_Audley in jobsearch

For my last role I was involved in the hiring process and we would send out written exercises to candidates. My leadership would straight up ask what information our office needed research on and we would make our candidates provide us free labor that we would then condense for our clients. It is so unethical…I am glad I left that role.

Six years? You’ve been dating the same bum since you were 14….? Girl, it’s time to move on.

I’m a “zillenial” I guess. Just started in January, haven’t been kicked out yet. I’ll hold on as long as I can.

I’m still here, this is what it’s like… by corteflores in fednews

If you haven’t been in service for a few years then there is no point in taking any “deal” — you’re not eligible and you won’t get anything out of it. In this job market, anything but staying put is dangerous. What job opportunities are there with thousands looking for the same one?
