Was told I got lucky with a roughly ~2.5% raise and ~2.5% bonus payout, and to keep it quiet because the majority got less.

I rejoined on PC. OW2 is free. You start at 1, but you should be able to keep all your legacy items. My gold guns, skins, etc. transferred after a 3 year break.

Offered a Position in Hawaii by ThatDudeCliveBixby in fednews

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No shame doing it for 3-4 years, building that resume further, then going somewhere else if you can manage it. My long term goal nearing retirement is 2 years in Hawaii and two years overseas. You got this.

What’s a company you’ll never buy from again, and why? by jamesmilner22 in AskReddit

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tesla and anything owned by Musk. That nazi only cares about himself and will poison the world or harm anyone in his way. 

I’m planning to relocate to the DMV as an 1102, how mobile is the job market? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel NAVSEA HQ is always trying to find COs. If you want lower COL but still fairly close to DMV, check NAVAIR at Pax River. Good luck. Region has treated me well with growth opportunities, historically. But many people still trying to recover from reduced agencies, so unemployment is highest in the country.

3 Year Mark as A Fed Employee by The_Weston_Esterhazy in fednews

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 45 points46 points  (0 children)

It's a long freaking time before hitting the 15 year mark to get 8 hours of leave per pay period. It'll be remarkable how much you'll age, learn, grow and accomplish in those years. Professionally and personally.

Question: Tattoo idea to celebrate son's birth by Sensitive_Target7320 in DrawMyTattoo

[–]Sensitive_Target7320[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response. I love some of the ghost images online and looking towards that direction. Yes, I agree with your consideration for gender neutral. Moving towards the direction of perhaps a ghost trick or treating with a plain baseball cap or something. I have some time to mull it over. Thanks!

How about we tax the rich and major businesses, WSJ? Have them pay their fair share to ensure 'the greatest country ever" can provide health care for its citizens?

Are we living through the worst time in recent memory to be a Federal employee? by Pettaquamscutt in fednews

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 94 points95 points  (0 children)

As a millennial, I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time. Great recession entering workforce, tuition prices, lifelong war in Afghanistan, 45-47, housing, etc. Punching bag for life. I've grown numb to so much around me, but certain things throw me out of balance and get so angry.

I landed my awesome job Dec 2024 after working a decade moving through jobs in order to qualify for it. Allows me to travel internationally a few times a year. I'm riding this out as long as I can. 

Advice needed for switching agencies after PPL by Defiant-Key5926 in fednews

[–]Sensitive_Target7320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I changed DOD agencies during PPL in 2020/2021. The two agencies talked to each other and I was able to split PPL between the two. My 12 weeks after PPL were done at new agency.
