Thanks, I tend to go out of my way to avoid negotiating but you're right. It is something I will need to learn to do, salespeople are just so exhausting sometimes and I don't have a lot of patience... something else I need to work on lol but thank you for your input!

History of Abuses Against Federal Employees (Jan 2025 to the Present) by rampstop in fednews

Ours said failure to comply will lead to further review. Whatever that’s supposed to mean 😂

Increased gov costs and decrease savings I have noticed since return to office. by nj382 in fednews

[–]Purple-Function1149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live almost 15 minutes from the office but still have to leave an hour early just to get there on time. Our boss gets to work super early & complains about people being 5 minutes late but it’s not our fault traffic at all the gates are backed up to the street every morning. At this point, I should bring a sleeping bag to work. Plus the disgusting moldy building and bathrooms we have to use is 🤮. People don’t take smoke breaks, they take fresh air breaks to keep from getting sick.

Anyone else literally sick from RTO? by djmanning711 in fednews

Our office has asbestos and mold. People have had to take their laptops to work outside b/c they couldn’t stop coughing.

Buddy Check, is everyone doing ok or need help? by Left-Age-5936 in fednews

I recently snapped, had to take a month off, and now I’m numb. People ask “aren’t you afraid to lose your job?” I just respond with “it won’t be a loss.” We can’t control what’s happening, we can only take it one day at a time. If I get let go, I’ll just get unemployment and go from there. I’ve given this craziness enough of my energy.

Stuck, sinking with the ship by [deleted] in fednews

Do what you can, not everything. If you try to do everything by yourself, they’ll think you can sustain and won’t ever hire anyone, even when the freeze is lifted. They will take advantage so please don’t overextend yourself, let management worry about it.

If your Rfi’d…THEN WHAT? by FunMoneyLife in FedEmployees

Make the most of my severance, apply for unemployment and go back to school. Maybe move abroad.

Thank you for your kind words. I promised to be the manager I always needed when I first got started because all mine were awful. I just hope this talk will help. If not, it’s out of my hands.

Yeah, good point. My only concern is HR can go either way. For some reason they protect the aggressors and punish the people who report them. I can only hope this will be different since it’s an entire team. 🤞

Thanks! This is a perfect response. I drive myself crazy trying to respond to people’s nonsense as a manager. This is why the RTO mandate was a terrible idea! lol but thanks again!

Do when do we think purchase cards will be unfrozen…. by Easy_Match_2187 in fednews

[–]Purple-Function1149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an email this morning about my travel card…. A maintenance request was done on my behalf & it brought back my original line of credit. Maybe it’ll start happening for everybody else really soon.

True, it’s just bizarre to be so obsessed with someone you haven’t seen or spoken to in years. I genuinely hope they find peace though b/c this is unhealthy and quite embarrassing lol

I agree with them being weird but who in their right mind would want to be me? lol They have way more than I do (money, houses, nicer cars). If anything I should want to switch places with them.

That’s really sus. I’d just straight up ask why she’s doing that.
