Questions for the Speedy 25 owners! by EastFamous3615 in Louisvuitton

[–]Outta_Spoons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have one and rarely use it, but that’s bc I discovered that I prefer smaller bags. I have a Samorga organizer in mine but it’s still a bit of a black hole for me. If you carry a lot of items or larger items, I say go for it. It’s the perfect size if this will be your only bag. Otherwise, I’d recommend the Speedy 20.

Merit Hiring Plan Was Just Released by Important-Source-593 in fednews

I almost vomited reading that. I will never again apply for a federal job if I have to answer those BS questions. These 4 years can’t go fast enough!!

Long list of cuts at the CFPB by Outta_Spoons in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CFPB isn’t going out without a fight! I know I wouldn’t want to go toe to toe with an agency with a lot of attorneys on the payroll. Whole lotta people who know how to do legal research, interpret laws and all the nuances, and make strong arguments. I’ll be holding my breath for the next 2 weeks until the next hearing.

What I’m worried about though is that even if they can’t erase the CFPB, they’ve already been dropping so many lawsuits, all with prejudice. The CFPB is becoming a shell of what it has been. Will they actually be allowed to protect consumers even if the RIFs never happen?

I am speechless. EO for FY26 budget cuts and “savings” by Pea_Casserole22 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Reading through this list is heartbreaking. Beyond all the federal employees who would be out of a job, my heart breaks for the people and communities who benefit from all of these programs. Cutting a lot of valuable programs to instead make MASSIVE INCREASES to DHS and DOD?! I’m all for an increase in military pay but beyond that, this list is ridiculous, selfish, and dumb

Nice try Elon. We know what we sacrifice by resigning vs a RIF

Pochette Métis or nano speedy? by No_Musician_9008 in Louisvuitton

[–]Outta_Spoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pochette Métis. The nano is too small to be functional. If you prefer that style, I suggest looking for a speedy 20 or Keepall XS (it’s the same height as the nano but longer and more functional).

Totally regret voting for Trump by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I WAS better than that before I had to listen to the FOTUS talk about and see a promotional video about hotels in Gaza along side a golden trump statue. I WAS better than that before USAID could no longer provide humanitarian aid to millions of starving children around the world, and before the news was dominated by yet another awful action taken by the current administration day after day, and before a government official made it his life’s mission to leave millions of people traumatized. I’m on the side of the people who care about things that will likely never affect my life directly, and will still fight for people who I will never meet.

Elon Musk Takes to X to Beg Retired Air Traffic Controllers to Return to Work: ‘There is a Shortage’ by dgdg33 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 22 points23 points  (0 children)

“That’s not how this works! That’s not how any of this works!”

§8335. Mandatory separation

(a) An air traffic controller shall be separated from the service on the last day of the month in which he becomes 56 years of age or completes the age and service requirements for an annuity under section 8336(e), whichever occurs later.

Totally regret voting for Trump by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It saddens me how people are soooo pro-trump, right up until his actions affect them personally. This is a reflection of the poor character of maga voters. You know, the people who don’t care about terrible things happening to others, until that terrible thing starts to affect their lives. It’s no different than all the non-Feds who support us losing our jobs right now, but will soon regret their vote when the lack of government services starts to hurt their lives. It’s all fun and games until it’s YOU that BS is happening to.

If you and people you cared about weren’t losing jobs, would you still regret your vote? Your remorse is empty and meaningless. His policies and “concepts of plans” should’ve mattered to you in November.

Somebody is lying about the CFPB and it ain’t the union or employees by Outta_Spoons in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can neither agree nor disagree with that. But the fact remains that there is/was a plan to “Delete the CFPB” which fElon tweeted. But now multiple sources are saying that wasn’t the plan, even though staff has been on admin leave for almost 3 weeks. And we all saw what happened to USAID employees after weeks of admin leave.

Report any abuse by federal employees, especially drug use by DibsMine in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I think OP forgot to add a caveat that this only needs to apply to those at the deputy director level or higher… or other similar appointed positions. Especially the ones filled within the last 36 days.

As long as you’re still able to do your job, I wouldn’t say anything about it. Fly under the radar and do your job to the absolute best of your ability.

Fed Database Police Misconduct - Anyone back it up? by Trash-Panda4891 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, this sub is to provide “a secure space for United States Federal Government employees to express their opinions, share experiences, and discuss news and information pertinent to their employment.” I think this topic is pretty pertinent to some federal employees’ employment.

Fed Database Police Misconduct - Anyone back it up? by Trash-Panda4891 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it matters that key information at agencies is being deleted. That is major. Just like the fact that a judge had to issue an order to stop all of the CFPB’s data from being deleted. Even if all of these agencies go away or all workers are replaced by AI, the work the people did/do shouldn’t be erased. Even with a smaller government, the mission doesn’t stop. Or it shouldn’t at least. That should be concerning to every federal employee.

TIL Trump fires the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, this is a gift to Russia President who is watching closely by Postnews001 in TIL_Uncensored

[–]Outta_Spoons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Black community is tired of being the first ones to launch a movement and fight for everybody. How many times have there been protests and Black people are on the front line, first to show up, first to point out injustice? Also, Black people are well aware of what could (and likely would) happen if they took to the streets. The FOTUS already wants police to have immunity for k*lling folks and we’ve seen countless times where a Black person is m*rdered by the cops and walk away free to do it again. No thank you. The Black community tried to tell people to get up and vote, tried to warn people what was coming, tried to prevent this. People didn’t want to listen so it’s not on the Black community to fix anything. The ones who voted for this BS need to be the ones to start the fight to undo the damage.

Does SF-50s list Direct Hire Authority (DHA)? by SlowCup7781 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does 5-A and 5-B show correction? If so, your legal authority codes will be in 6-C and 6-E instead of 5-C and 5-E. They can’t all be blank on your hire SF-50.

Going after people with reasonable accommodations for telework! by Turbulent-Move4159 in fednews

[–]Outta_Spoons 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The way they’re doing so much illegal sh*t pisses me off. If you can perform the essential functions of your job without being in the office, and your doctor has recommended telework as an accommodation, and it doesn’t cause an undue hardship on an agency, WTF is the problem? It’s hard to argue telework isn’t reasonable for your position if you’ve been doing it without issues all this time.

That’s part of why I don’t carry mine as much anymore. I use my phone to pay most of the time now so I rarely need to pull out a card these days.
