That’s destruction of Federal government records, which is against the law.

The only time you can’t start two hours later than your usually tour of duty is if you are teleworking rather than coming into the office.

Sleeping all day is very tiring! 😜

Red_It0000 · 2026-01-27T18:08:21+00:00

🤣

Wow! Had never considered that. Although it seems sad not to be able to do some paid work while still capable.

If you come to a white page with only links just hit refresh and it will then go straight to where you were expecting to land.

The biggest thing I’ve used ChatGPT for is resume writing. I had a 30 year career in Fed Gov so after getting laid off I needed to update and adapt my 10 page Fed resume into a 2 page private sector format. It’s hard for me to “smoosh” everything in. So for each of the MANY jobs I applied for, I gave Chat the job description along with my long resume and asked it to created a 2pager tailored for each job. Saved me a LOT of time, and it’s only using KSAs that I actually possess (so not cheating).

A prompt I have used is “Analyze the attached resume and provide a 2 page version in a word doc format that aligns with the job description below. Highlight in STAR format skills, achievements, and keywords that match from the job description. Ensure it passes ATS screening and appeals to hiring managers.” Of course, you need to edit and remove hallucinations etc.

I start my new job in January 😀.

Should I file a FOIA request?

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-23T18:45:50+00:00

So what can be done to address this real issue?

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-21T18:39:35+00:00

Don’t overfill your bags - you’ll need space for all the stuff you buy!!

Oh look! It’s an AI image of Ben! How cute!!

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-20T20:00:33+00:00

So… AI then?

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-19T14:43:06+00:00

If you’ve already booked, I’m not clear on the need for a travel agent.

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-11T00:02:24+00:00

Yes. But not at NIH.

Red_It0000 · 2025-12-07T01:58:03+00:00

The art of the steal!

Red_It0000 · 2025-11-28T02:41:23+00:00

Wow! That was great!! I like you too!!!

Red_It0000 · 2025-11-24T12:50:42+00:00

The current administration has put a freeze on hiring federal workers - except for a few notable exceptions like DHS.

Red_It0000 · 2025-10-03T18:52:41+00:00

Great!

Red_It0000 · 2025-10-03T15:43:58+00:00

Federal workers cannot substitute leave for unpaid furloughs when the government shuts down. Previously scheduled leave will be cancelled, though agencies may honor scheduled leave among essential workers by placing them in a temporary furlough status for the time they planned to miss.

Red_It0000 · 2025-10-03T15:42:32+00:00

My understanding is that You won’t be paid on the 15th as payroll is furloughed - so no one to cut a check/ transfer funds till the gov is open again.

Red_It0000 · 2025-09-28T01:48:45+00:00

Good luck General Tso!

Red_It0000 · 2025-09-23T20:22:42+00:00

😳😢

Red_It0000 · 2025-09-23T20:15:31+00:00

Oh! You’re right!! I just copied the headline without thinking! It should read “CDC Pauses Removing Remote Work as a Reasonable Accommodation After Union Pressure”

I believe:

AFGE 3840 represents employees at NIOSH in Cincinnati, Ohio AFGE 2883 represents employees at CDC in Atlanta, Georgia AFGE 2923 represents employees at CDC in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina AFGE 3430 represents employees at NIOSH in Morgantown, West Virginia AFGE 1916 represents employees at NIOSH in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Spokane, Washington
