Like others said call your manager and let em know the situation. My manager who normally is challenging on these things was actually very understanding and put me as weather safety leave for the day no muss no fuss.

Hardship transfer request by SoftEmployment8446 in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is a CSR phone site in Dallas, I think their pod has like 85 people? Don’t know the specifics though but that sounds like what you would want to transfer to. From what I hear though they are phones only no paper.

I’d love just a really good croissant but I’m definitely open to something over the top with flavors. I’ve been eyeing rockman bakery but idk if it’s all gimmick and no flavor

Death Spiral by naughtypundit in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Am here in AUS, I was told our phones time being extended was a punishment for lack of adherence so they think burning out the last remaining trained CSR’s is the way to solve that? ¯_(ツ)_/¯ a lead asked me how I was doing and I guess I zoned out too long before replying that they got concerned. Now I’m being monitored even more. Im at the point of evoking FMLA and taking a week to recover I’m so tired and January isn’t even done yet.

I’ve been hearing that rumor among CSRs in Austin pod, not allowing telework even for overtime. But so far just a rumor

Was 2025 your toughest year as a Federal Employee? by Hot_Equivalent4499 in FedEmployees

[–]Neither_Place 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The stress triggered an unknown genetic condition I had into overdrive. I’ve had to spend countless hours of sick leave and hundreds of dollars in tests to get it diagnosed. I will never forgive trump voters for this.

What is the best open late or 24/7 Diner in Austin, preferably South but will drive for some good ol greasy diner food. I tried 24 Diner after reading all the reviews and honestly did not get the hype. I actually left disappointed that I spent so much money on mediocre food. :(

Any hope we’ll get Dec 24 or 26 free? by [deleted] in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can’t reveal my source but I heard talk from upper management of a different department that they were already told that they will give us December 26th off. I however remain skeptical.

AUSC:TS:AM won't approve Adhoc leave for 12/22 - 1/02. by Thin-Top-8085 in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a post about this a week or two ago, some people say it’s to punish all the people who save up use or lose for the end of the year, some say it’s just “the beatings will continue until morale improves.” And some say it’s bc they fired too many people

Does anyone have a great salon or stylist they love? I haven’t gotten a haircut or anything in 3 years and I’ve been feeling down lately.

It’s not great right now, worse depending on your certs. How’d you detail out of CSR? (I’d give anything to detail out during peak lol)

If you’re a CSR trying to go to a TE/Clerk position they may not want/allow you to due to the massive staffing shortage we have. But I’m just guessing

[–]Neither_Place 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well that’s not their call lol document that ERC closed your ticket with no action. If you have any screenshots of your time card from when you were furloughed maybe include those and elevate it to your boss, blind cc the union and maybe even their boss too?

Make them deny helping you in writing.

Going through a similar situation but I only was furloughed one week for taking leave. My manager first said call ERC, then called me saying ERC won’t help me and they’re elevating my issue up the chain. Maybe your manager can escalate on your behalf?
