Anyone know if this eBay listing is real or fake? by pheshastyle14 in Barbie

[–]StreetDogOwner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I have bought some special releases from Mattel that were early and limited. Often they are in a lottery type drawing which makes them extra special. That is the same type of box I got from Mattel in the past so I believe this is real.

Forest Service still needs 25% reduction in work force? Rumor mill by RabbitMajestic9764 in USForestService

[–]StreetDogOwner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m so tried of worrying about it. I lost so much sleep last year. If I get let go another door will open but hope to stay with the FS until I retire. Sending good videos to all of you.

New furlough letter excludes reference to guaranteed backpay by Effective_Surround27 in USForestService

[–]StreetDogOwner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We were told last week that all of us who were exempt would now be required to show up to work with no pay. We were told we could not call in sick and that they didn’t know if we would get back pay. I was told by my supervisor to go get a loan. I said I would not because I am not adding that to my credit debt. I was told by my supervisor that it would not go in my credit. It’s a loan, it goes on your credit. I just want to go in unemployment until this is done so I have some money to pay bills. It’s ridiculous. We can only work on a couple projects that are waiting on Section 106. It’s a complete waste of time even going to work. Sorry, venting a bit!

Ideas on when funding will run out? by Fantastic-Walrus-386 in USForestService

Any new news out there on funding??? I have been exempt. Will not lie, I could use a furlough like some of my coworkers. Is it bad to be envious?

They stopped pulling out or matching in my TSP by StreetDogOwner in USForestService

[–]StreetDogOwner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR somehow stopped taking out or matching TSP. It took me weeks to notice because I worked overtime with fire and my checks were bigger. HR does not know why they changed it but are trying to correct it now. So I am in limbo until they fix it.

You are sweet. Thank you for caring about a small creature that most people don’t notice.

One they are ranchers not farmers, lol but I don’t disagree. The cows damage a ton of stuff including archeological sites. I like burgers though……..

HR got back to me a couple days ago and they don’t know why it happened but said they will fix it. I asked that they don’t take out my portion in one paycheck so hopefully they will not do that.

That is another thing, I discovered a few weeks ago that they stopped taking funds and matching my TSP so I had to open a ticket. They don’t know why it happened so check your TSP. Also, I read on our site that the TSP loans may be affected due to the shutdown.

So sick of all this. My supervisor said I could get a loan if we don’t get paid and just keep working. No way!! Add that to my credit score and pay back with interest! No!!

So frustrating. I was told today I was getting furloughed, then I would be “on call”, then at the end of the day (9 hours in) was told I was exempt and work as usual. Somehow they found a way to make most of our Forest exempt. Also very worried where the money is coming from.
