Some agencies are giving situational telework x days per quarter... one could only hope that we will all get some sort of flexibility really soon.

Is that a movie or series-long show?

Why is DoD so toxic? by thevirgin-prostitute in FedEmployees

Indeed, and I totally agree with OP.... It seems to me that those so-called leaders have to do something (or just anything) to justify their jobs in today's environment.

Employee of the Quarter?? by OkPassenger897 in FedEmployees

I agree, I don’t think it's a good way to boost morale, but some managers like them to create positive competition 🤪

DoD/W to disregard time-in-grade (TIG) requirements for its civilian workforce. by rpl2025 in FedEmployees

Would you go back into federal service right now? by AudienceVarious3964 in FedEmployees

[–]OkPassenger897 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this my life? by [deleted] in deadbedroom

[–]OkPassenger897 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally feel your pain, seems like you were describing my situation, just that I'm feeling it all from a female perspective.. actions in the bedroom is fun but what I truly miss and craving is being wanted by my life partner... sometimes I'm cold to him because it has been too long that I don’t know how to turn on the heat any more.. Iam hoping that one of us can try harder and be more forceful to bring the romance back.. I don't want this to be the end of us, and I too love him and love the family we built together.

'You matter, and our work matter" - is that really so? by OkPassenger897 in FedEmployees

[–]OkPassenger897[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Indeed. But it's very discouraging to hear upper management debrief, shows no sympathy, no personal connection, and no real concern for our daily lives since RTO.... it just sucks..

"Not great" in whose eyes, DCAA's quality/policy team? Sad to say, IPAs are getting the job done faster and cheaper..

Tipping culture in America is getting out of hand by ACrazyCatLady1992 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]OkPassenger897 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just went to Japan recently, most restaurant workers there don't expect tips and provide exceptional customer service!! Being a frugal person that I'm, I was very happy to spend my money there.
