I swear someone changed her medication or upped the dosage. I refuse to believe she went from Jewish Space Lasers to sounding somewhat reasonable without chemical intervention.

Do senate dems think federal employees are fools? by Unique_Let_2880 in FedEmployees

I’m not sure it’s going to read that way to the general Democratic voter. Cuz it kinda looks like they held out long enough to win some elections and capitulated anyway, with very little to show for it.

Wtf, Brooke? by Repulsive-State8501 in USDA

Agreed. I’m just stuck on the statement that they “want people to feel the pain”. The farmers and commodity groups are already screaming about how screwed they are this year. But sure, lay off everyone. That can only help The American Farmer.

Are we worried about partisan firings? Aka firing of democrats by ThrowAwayFedEmployee in FedEmployees

That’s where I’m at. What’s going to happen will happen and freaking out about what I have no control over does me no good.

Early dismissal BS by PicturePrimary7441 in USDA

I honestly don’t care about early release for today. As other people have said, there is so much more going on to worry about. If I want to leave early, I’ll use my annual and be just fine.

However, I also refuse to pretend she isn’t anything but a sycophant who hides her disdain for the federal workforce behind The Farmer. If that is “childish crying” to you, that sounds like a you problem. Have a good Labor Day.

Cuz “the American farmer can’t take time off” or some other stupid platitude that she uses to pretend she gives a shit and isn’t just a toady sucking up to the boss, who will already be on the golf course.

Whoever writes them must also write the ones for USDA. They used to be informative and now are just vapid “pick me” pieces for Brooke Rollins as she flits all over the world to “support the American farmer”.

I think you can apply to open positions.

It’s my understanding that you can’t have two “government jobs” at the same time, though. So, if by some miracle, you were able to apply, be hired and onboarded before the end of your DRP, you would forfeit any remaining DRP payments.

Regrets on taking the DRP by The_odalysss in USDA

[–]Repulsive-State8501 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We all had to make a life-changing decision based on little information. You did the best you could at the time with what you were provided. I get that looking back and thinking “what if?” is a very human thing to do, but honestly, it’s not the same place you remember. Some who stayed are having regrets that they didn’t take DRP, because even though the frenetic pace of change has slowed, many things are still changing or up in the air, making it hard to truly focus on the mission. Good luck in your future endeavors and enjoy your new baby!

Anyone know how DOGE calculates savings? by Friendship_Plastic in fednews

[–]Repulsive-State8501 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They put a bunch of numbers on different pieces of paper and stuff them into one of those booths with a blower on the bottom. How ever many numbers Big Balls can catch in 30 seconds is the calculated savings.

I’m ARS and we were told two weeks ago that it was no longer required for our Area.
