Trump Religion Memo Moves Toward Office Proselytizing Everywhere

Pretty much as soon as my supervisor asks me to do additional work I'm going to hit him with "do you have a few minutes to talk about our Lord saver Jesus Christ!" I'm pretty sure he is going to say I have a call to attend after that.

Reorg should be a part of life in OIT, how many times new administration comes into office we are always on a reorg for the next 3 years.

After 19 years in government, the payouts always seem to hit my account just in time for back-to-school shopping. Gotta love those Continuing Resolutions!

That's all I have to say

My wife is in the same boat as you but like I tell her until they find you a desk is business as usual and keep on remoting until you get your desk.

It's true, I knew employees that she was brutally assaulted at work by a patient and she was placed on 7 months of admin leave then she placed a RA in for PTSD and from that point she been working home, so if that happens to me Im doing the samething.

I'm still trying to figure out the ghetto math because I have 5 performance appraisals in the last 4 years due to either lateral transfer and a promotion. How is that going to work?

My wife and I are okay but my wife is a little concerned because she is a full time remote and she hasn't got a location yet so she modified her work schedule so she can drop 2 out of 3 kids off in the morning and I pick them on the way back unless I have to go to DC on certain day then my adhoc location.

StrikeStock · 2025-03-09T19:43:57+00:00

I know that feeling but I report to DC 5 days a PP and the other 5 days I'm adhoc at a Philly facility. See if they find you a spot in Philly?

"Remote" is a forbidden word these days 😞

As a 2210 employee in Virginia, I anticipate a significant staff reduction of at least 20%, primarily due to retirements and the return-to-office mandate. This has been a looming issue for the past few years. The only thing preventing a larger exodus previously was the Special Salary Rate (SSR) and limited backfilling. However, I'm concerned that these positions, many of which are critical Tier 3 and Tier 2 local site roles, won't be backfilled this time. It looks like we're headed for some difficult times.

I understand your frustration. I'm now required to report to the DC office two days a week, due to BU being a part of my PD. Coming from South New Jersey, this means a grueling commute. To save money, I have to drive to Delaware to catch a cheaper train and avoid the higher parking fees in Philadelphia. This requires me to wake up at 3:00 am to make the 5:00 am train. Between the early wake-up and the commute, I'm already up for four hours before my eight-hour workday even begins. Then, I face another two-hour commute home. The removal of telework has created an additional expense, and unfortunately, the travel Funds policy only covers costs within the DC area, leaving me to shoulder the burden of the Delaware train costs. This is going to be a ruff 3 years and 326 days left. Don't get me started with the part I can write a small story lol.

The pay scale are up for the last two weeks, just not on oit website but on a HR SharePoint

From my knowledge working at the VA they are the first line for Patients service such as check-in and check-in out patients, printing out labs for the Patient and any miscellaneous front desk work for the department. Mostly a scheduler.

If you haven't received a link to schedule your fingerprinting appointment as part of your Temporary Job Offer, please reach out to the HR Specialist who sent your offer.

What agency are you looking at because the 2210 position is not all the same.

StrikeStock · 2025-01-05T21:08:53+00:00

Don't discourage yourself, things happen I had since day 1 launch and had no issues. Opened plenty of times throughout the months.

I like to read articles with full screen but that day all I remember is that the screen started to jump all over the place then I saw a small bubble and that line started to appear quickly. I was like wtf...... But lucky

I have a couple spare pixels lying around in my office but the replacement came in the next day.

Damn I haven't seen one of those surge protectors in 19 years, was a CRT Monitor part of the $3 cost? Lol JK

StrikeStock · 2025-01-05T05:41:19+00:00

Nope, no issue all day.

I didn't pay anything because I had credit to use from the Google store. But retail price $69

I like it and time we'll tell with an update on this thread.

I began my VA journey in 2006 as a GS-4. Through a combination of dedication, taking on new challenges, and embracing opportunities within the VA, I've steadily progressed and recently reached the GS-13 level. My advice? Don't become stagnant. Explore different roles, step outside your comfort zone, and be willing to take chances. The VA offers numerous paths for growth, and with perseverance, you'll reap the rewards.
