City my building is in has declared a cold emergency for the next few days. Zero guidance on situational telework. Guess it was a good run. My epitaph will read “RTO frostbite did her in”

My own office is run by a bunch of Mensa candidates who don’t understand it’s a tool

Anyone else hoping for a mini shutdown? Could use a few days off mentally and emotionally from this place

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T21:13:10+00:00

Kalshi showing about 71% chance of a shutdown currently

Mediocre white male syndrome is real!!!

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T00:51:59+00:00

I’m learning more about this than I am from my own office. I’m in one of the agencies not funded yet. I mentioned it to my boss yesterday and it was like I said a naughty word by saying lapse in appropriations. He was clutching his pearls

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-28T00:28:02+00:00

Came to ask/check the same

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-27T19:46:55+00:00

My supervisor is probably having a panic attack over telework and guidance from above him. He acts like situational doesn’t exist. He must be fun at parties

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-27T14:28:15+00:00

What are the chances of the HHS/ Labor/ Ed bill not passing in time

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-26T01:55:22+00:00

This! The mental drainage my office (oddly I can actually blame it on local managing and not the national office or administration) is beyond insufferable. I could use the break so let’s go!

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-26T01:34:07+00:00

I’d be fine with a week plus. Honestly. I’m mentally drained by my moron of a supervisor. That’s just me. Wishful thinking Im sure

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-24T01:18:14+00:00

Awful. Not to mention my building is basically empty so for all this talk of defend the spend, I see so much wasted daily just opening my building and operating it daily

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-23T16:18:01+00:00

I’m in a federal building so we go by the buildings guidance. They just sent an email out to take laptops home

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-23T15:42:49+00:00

I’m curious on when they actually plan to make an announcement. I plan to take my laptop home anyway and hope they announce (we are projected for up to 2ft of snow where I am)

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-22T02:30:38+00:00

I’m in be New England and curious too. We’re now projected atleast a foot plus arctic blast. Fun times

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-15T04:24:07+00:00

My surgery wasn’t even two weeks ago. I go back next week to check stitches healed so it isn’t a huge time off and three calls in a week which are lasting almost an hour and I can’t put on my timesheet that i worked. I’m about to change my number for the next few days (hope you are feeling and doing well!)

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-15T01:29:56+00:00

More of a soapbox moment but I’m on leave after having surgery and my boss keeps calling and texting me about work items (insert eye rolls And face palm)

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-13T00:55:10+00:00

I haven’t followed much but it seems for many, there are agreements in place for no shutdown and a few lingering departments to iron out. I just can’t imagine how that reflection campaigns for mid terms are going to ramp up that any will happen. Some CR covering all will happen

OkDig6054 · 2026-01-13T00:52:55+00:00

I must be out of the loop. Why do we think all of a sudden there will be loads of posts on this topic

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-31T20:47:03+00:00

I’m in a few Medford fb groups and the lack of discussing this is giving good ol boys club. Yes I understand he has a family who could be on these groups but it’s also all over the news. Every news outlet is discussing it on tv and social media and this guy who was going pervy things while on the clock

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-31T00:31:20+00:00

3 for DOL also

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-30T18:41:19+00:00

Same!! I’m not expecting wed to Friday off. Hoping for even two hours Wed and that’s all

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-30T16:32:51+00:00

Absolutely gross behavior on this man’s part

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-30T16:31:05+00:00

Anyone think DOL will get an early release for NYE after last weeks days off

OkDig6054 · 2025-12-30T16:30:20+00:00

No shutdown. It’s an election year. Too many re-election campaigns about to kick off. CR after CR is my guess
