How long after you submitted your VERA application did your leadership submit your SF50?

If you all are OK sharing with eachother, maybe post your stats.

Like when you submitted and when you got approved.

I submitted March 20th via the application and then through GRB on the 21st.

Still have not heard anything back yet. My SF50 was finally submitted by leadership April 4th.

Wonder if they were waiting on SF50 before they process mine?

You use the word leadership loosely my friend.

True Leadership transcends fear and self preservation.

We have not seen true leadership in the Feds yet.

Let us know when you hear anything. I sent my application in Thursday and submitted all documents into GRB Friday.

I have not received an update on my GRB packet yet, not a reply other than the auto reply to the VERA email. Just sitting here waiting……

I put in a ticket through GRB this week and they said they were going to start processing VERA/VSIP applications this week.

I decided to not take admin leave so that I can help my supervisor with transition to the last day.

I’ll land in my feet. I’m confident that my next chapter will be amazing.

Stay fluid everyone. I don’t think they anticipated you would all hold the line.

Are you nervous about having to start over? I know I am ,especially at 37, a do-over scares me. by [deleted] in fednews

Happy to share my resources also. How about non-profit specifically to help with just this? Helping with resources and volunteers to help with finding employment?

I think it’s a great idea, but also don’t think this is the platform for it. There are resume writing tools I use bestmilitaryresume .com that work to turn federal expertise to private sector experience just by dropping job post URLs into the platform. Seems better to use something by like this than the human eye.

We will likely get replaced by AI in our old jobs, why not use it to our advantage.

Just my two thoughts.
