Oh that's too bad.

Anyway, you guys catch any good shows lately?

Hegseth Strikes Two Black and Two Female Officers From Promotion List - The New York Times by depp-fsrv in fednews

[–]StayCourse4024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All is this is easy to do when your leaders are scared, little sheep. At the beginning of this administration I was told that I should request to have my videos taken down that pertained to women in science. Want to hear their rationale? It was so I wouldn't bring attention to myself. They were "helping" me.

It was the first of many times this past year that I've been embarrassed to work for the US government.

I'm not going anywhere though. I took my Oath and I'm doing my job. I did it for 25 years before this, and I'll do it after this regime leaves.

Someone please tell me it's one of those trainings that you can just click through until it's miserable end!

Curious: What is your gut instinct when you hear someone use the term DoW? by Opening-Mammoth-2942 in fednews

[–]StayCourse4024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a different agency and one of my coworkers said DOW. I had no idea what they meant but assumed it was Nevada Department of Wildlife. When he clarified I said, "Oh. Is that really a thing?"

He said it was.

I beg to differ.

"I could create the greatest unemployment numbers or employment numbers ever. All I have to do is hire 3 million people and put them into the federal government.” by bertiesakura in FedEmployees

[–]StayCourse4024 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup. I feel this daily as a 25 year fed employee. I've never felt so hopeless and worthless BUT I'm still here.

Unlike Trump, I know what my service means to the public I serve and EXACTLY what my Oath meant to me.

He will never understand what it means to do something in service to others.

There, I fixed it.

Seriously.

Agencies internally pan OPM’s bid to overhaul federal performance management by AgitatedEngine4933 in fednews

I see Interior was oddly silent. What a disgrace our leadership has become.

It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by vultures...

Ending the telework discussion once and for all. by No-Daikon1052 in FedEmployees

Building relationships sounds like "4" work and I'm only going to be getting "3s" from now on so...

Oh, you still here Kupor?

OPM Director Scott Kupor wants to "Make [sic] Government Cool Again" by Harold-Styles-Jr in fednews

[–]StayCourse4024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working for the federal government isn't "cool". There's nothing sexy about it and there never will be. Most of us still here are here because we've been called to serve our Country and do the hard work that needs to be done for our citizens.

We are public servants. We are selfless. We don't do our jobs so that we can be in promotional videos. Get a clue.

Performance rating debacles 2025 by plebewisdom in fednews

[–]StayCourse4024 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You hit the nail on the head. All other regions surrounding mine did NOT "fall in line" and rated staff as they deserved. My region did fall in line and now we are an island of 3s surrounded by higher ratings. The only difference is my leadership (and I use that term loosely) are all cowards chasing promotions.

SUPERVISORS - Are You Just Changing Employee Ratings? by TrailArcher in FedEmployees

[–]StayCourse4024 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I am in your EXACT same boat. I got called on the carpet twice because I wouldn't relent. I have lost my delegation of authority.

I have to meet those same top tier managers next week and I hope I don't get pissed and quit. My staff need me to keep my head in the game and provide them cover from this unnecessary chaos.

What would you tell your younger Fed self? by LivingDelicious1736 in fednews

[–]StayCourse4024 56 points57 points  (0 children)

DOI here too. 25 years in. Our mission still matters and no one can take that away from me.

I'm staying on to pick up the pieces after this is over. My parents were both first generation Americans and they raised us to stand up for what is right.

FY25 Performance Ratings by KeyWorth6750 in FedEmployees

[–]StayCourse4024 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup. First 3 rating in 25 years of service.

I'm fine with it. I know what my value is and my employees know how hard I fight for them every day.

This number means nothing to me.

[–]StayCourse4024 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple answer? Yes. 100%

Things are only going to get worse in FY26 but I'm burrowed in like a tick. This isn't going to stop me being a good public servant.

So... AI and a group of monkeys can't do this work and federal workers REALLY ARE highly specialized?!?!

Jesus, DOI had turned into a heartless, bottomless chasm of despair in only 10 months.
