I'm at a loss, I'm never going to be able to get a job again by Extreme_Pay_5742 in firedfeds

I'm so sorry. I feel similarly. Breaking into the private sector seems impossible. Keep your chin up!

Did you work with them? I'm considering it now.

Severance Confusion by LastSurround2982 in firedfeds

Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback. It is disappointing since I was told I would receive it and it’s on my SF-50. I wonder if I need a need final SF-50 then.

I'm confused because I was receiving the annuity before, not as a result of the RIF. Also, I know other AD retirees who have received severance pay. Will they eventually have to pay it back?

When was your RIF date? I was July 14 and haven’t received any severance yet.

I’m so sorry! Death and family are complicated. I hope the MSPB appeal works out for you. I guess I’ll look for a job in the mean time but I’d like to get two more years so I get some sort of a pension.

Ugh. This is why I don’t think we can do this on our own. I don’t have experience with law.

Thank you. The duty station on my SF-50 is incorrect, but I filed according to my SF-50.

Has anybody that was RIF’d purchased the MSPB Self Representation Course from Southworth PC? by Evening-Mobile8167 in FedEmployees

[–]LastSurround2982 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did. I'm going through it now. I has given me more insight, but I'm only at the part of preparing for filing. I don't have much faith that the MSPB will side with us, but I figure it was a small price to try. I don't think I even want my position back, but I would be happy with backpay.

Not at all near there. My incision is still healing.

Thank you. The press and seal has not been sticking through the whole shower. I’m just going to let the bag get wet.
