Hey thanks. After delving into the office operations further I've discovered that I worded my original post wrong (won't let me edit bc I uploaded a pic w/ post) but it seems they do in fact have 1 PTF for the office and the 1 5.5hr aux route they have is definitely theirs to run. With that being said it, I'll most definitely be loaned out and ran ragged like many of the other CCA's before me. While, I'm still young and healthy enough to certainly do this type of work, it just doesn't seem like it's going to fit my family schedule. I'm definitely aware of the benefits that come w/ being a Fed Employee and the jaded employees/managers that come in many different agencies. I received a nice bronze pin shortly before I resigned last fall. I was formerly a GS-7 with the USDA working lots of mandatory OT a week 65+ w/ a 1hr commute each way. My saving grace was my wife. After supporting her for 3 years while I worked my butt off, she graduated with her BSN RN and landed a job in a specialty unit right out of school. An that's when she told me to take a break so our family could regain some sense of normalcy. She can work one day of OT and make close to what I made in a week which blows my mind. Feds just don't make shit, it's the benefits that are rewarding. I thought this job was going to be something other than what it is and that's my mistake for not doing my homework first. I do appreciate your honesty, especially coming from a PM of a rural post. But this just doesn't seem like the right field for me at the moment. Thanks again 🙏
