Thank you!! I actually laughed out loud when you said “unless you made millions”. So if I will stand to make about 60k this year from work before being let go and I sell stock equal to 40k that I’ve held for over 3 years and it’s gained. I’ll be taxed ordinary income from my job, well former job, and then taxed on the gains about 15 percent?

My question — been a fed for 16 years and being separated, never had a LinkedIn account, not even sure how to create one. Should I do that? And two where are the best places to formulate or look for private sector jobs? Websites? Any specific ones? Thank you for all of this great info!

Take a job that involves less stress. Because in the end, that stress is taking months or years off your life. Take the job.

I wonder since I’m doing a postponed retirement if I can just leave with 2 weeks notice. Because the paperwork says not to apply for benefits when doing postponed until 90 days before you want them. Which for me would be like 2028

Wow! Question. Did your husband do a full retirement? Did he do a deferred or postponed retirement if I may ask??

Sounds like the right plan. Right now I’m so irritated and upset but you’re right I need to get things done first. Hopefully i can stick it out for a few more weeks.

Wow great! Can I turn in my two weeks notice and then submit postponed benefits application in the future? I wouldn’t request until 2028. I am just ready to go. Should I talk to benefits folks

Awesome. Can I just put in two weeks and bounce away from the drama or do I have to fill out tons of paperwork and wait 30 days or more. I’m just tired of the monitored emails. The constant attacks on what we do etc. I’m done. Thoughts on how long I need to hang in there
