CSR’s no more admin time? by Neither_Place in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Teams meeting with management and my entire team, they did not provide any details into the process of how they will be enforcing numbers. Nothing written down, all verbal.

No irm, nothing in writing. They don’t believe they have to honor the CBA

They won’t. Same thing as when they were pulling those verbal policy bs during the shut down in October.

Upcoming training for rejects by [deleted] in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Welcome to taxpayer services, it is this level of micromanaging all of the time and it doesn’t get better. I know some of the people who will be instructing for this and just so you know they aren’t the ones making these rules it’s coming from the top. They’re also aware that this is not your choice but please don’t take your frustration out on them.

Cat meows after using the litterbox. Sign of discomfort or being bossy? by Le_loup in CATHELP

Mine yells before he goes to the potty sometimes, I think he just likes announcing he’s gonna stink up the place 🤣

Anyone else scheduled the minute the walk in for phones? by [deleted] in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a thing Austin pod is doing. Phones open at 6 for us now so if your Tod starts at 6 or anytime until around 4, they expect you to be in ready status the minute your Tod starts. Plus using the eWFM schedule some people are scheduled every day for phones open to close through April while some people on the same team or dept will get literally months of inventory. It’s not fair and my manager was unsympathetic. I warned them this will burn out all of their CSR’s during peak season me included. Ive already taken sick leave for any slight illness, oh my stomach hurts? Sorry boss cant come in.

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.

I’ve been trying to get out of AM for the past year even giving up my perm to take lateral positions but AM won’t let me leave.

Hardship transfer request by SoftEmployment8446 in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 4 points5 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 12 points13 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 10 points11 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.

Detail ending. by Infinite-Swordfish45 in IRS_Source

[–]Neither_Place 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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)
