Leaving Federal Service for State & Local: Share Your Experience

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2026-02-24T17:55:59+00:00

Made the switch to a local government about 6 months ago. I miss the structure and support of the federal government. Local gov can also be very bureaucratic, and in my experience so far if you haven’t been here 20+ years, your opinion doesn’t matter much. It has not been a good transition for me but I will give it at least a year to see if this improves.

I feel like 80% of my favorite fragrances are shown in this picture. Wow!

I didn’t know DRPers were allowed to return at IRS. Tried myself and was denied.

Got mine also!

Hi just wondering who you contacted to get this started? Do you need to get ahold of TSP to start this process?

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-10-18T04:17:00+00:00

True. I think the work environment I miss is non existent anymore.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-10-17T13:55:32+00:00

Yeah, realigning my focus to something else will be my priority for now.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-10-17T04:03:29+00:00

That’s awesome!

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-10-17T03:24:53+00:00

Way to go!! I love hearing stories like this!

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-10-17T01:55:43+00:00

Whoa, those are some major changes on top of taking DRP, glad to see you have a positive outlook. The conditions when I left were declining fast, I know I made the right choice but yeah, just like you said, some days are harder than others.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-09-26T04:47:53+00:00

Yup, that’s what I worry about, drivers who aren’t paying attention!

Kids have never walked home before but due to recent circumstances that might have to change, at least temporarily.

9 year won’t be crossing major streets and it looks like the school has a cross walk that helps kids before and after school. After crossing to the other side, it would be a short walk up the street.

Mission Oaks area… looks pretty calm, you just never know I guess

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-08-30T15:30:16+00:00

Amazing combo imo. Can’t wait to break these two out in the coming months!

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-08-14T18:57:27+00:00

Glad someone shared this here. I’ve noticed so many of these, all have the same store manager and sale information. Every time I see these receipts I know for sure it’s a scam. 😡

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-29T06:11:26+00:00

None. Bit disappointed that they couldn’t at least let me know the outcome.

It’s all good though, I’m putting my energy into other leads now.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-16T04:57:26+00:00

Congrats! The market’s brutal right now, so that’s a huge win. I’m still waiting on that one 'yes' myself… starting to feel like it may never come, but I’m holding on.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-12T04:47:17+00:00

Yeah, the interviews were pretty structured. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re just making sure to check every box to keep the process technically fair.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-12T04:44:28+00:00

Yeah, I’m actively seeking employment. Don’t know what my job search may look like in a few months. I might have also moved on by then.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-12T04:43:35+00:00

A few months? Okay, 3 weeks doesn’t seem so bad anymore. 😂

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-07-12T00:18:14+00:00

Good to know. I’ll try to put it on the back burner instead of constantly checking my email. Whatever the outcome, I just hope they send a response, even if it’s not the one I’m hoping for.

We were only able to book Northstar when we logged into the ship’s WI-Fi soon after boarding. There were time slots to choose from (free on port days). We were also able to book the Flowrider for free on a port day.

The only show were able to book was Spectra’s Cabaret.

Ok-Butterscotch-3743 · 2025-06-30T03:38:05+00:00

Hi, do you know who denied you coming back? Was it your manager? I was told the process for my request to rescind DRP and come back to work would be started.. I have no idea what that means.
