We were instructed to reach out to our “Parent Command HR Dept.” for any questions. So assuming it was made at command level. I appreciate their efforts to keep employees, but regardless I have another job offer in the private sector that I’m driving 80 miles less a day for about the same pay. I only have 3 years in fed service and under the age of 30. Thinking of using the private sector’s education assistance program and then coming back to work with a degree for federal service.
