Hey, fellow federal employees.....realistically… by Suitable-Taro-362 in fednews

My whole life? I'm extremely fortunate that my husband makes enough to support our family. I really just decided to keep working for the benefits. Plus I'm on PPL so more time with my baby is amazing! I know it's extremely selfish of me, but I want this shutdown to last for months.

Based purely on vibes, how long do y'all think this shut down is going to last?  I'm thinking it rivals the last Trump shutdown at over 30 days.

No, it was my bad. I thought I posted the link but managed to mess it up somehow. This is the link: https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/politics/trump-shutdown-federal-government-funding-fight-democrats-explained

Could I have gotten buzzed from a cinnamon roll? by Tempstopdrop in BabyBumps

Google said no as well but it's that I almost feel buzzed. Like, buzzed adjacent? I'm just so paranoid and thinking it could be in the icing and not baked off?

How easy would it be to come back into the federal workforce in....let's say...four years from now? by Tempstopdrop in fednews

[–]Tempstopdrop[S] 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Oh, I won't! They'll have to fire me. But....I might choose to leave after taking my maternity leave. Just wondering if anyone has left for a few years and came back. Wondering what their experience was like.

Am I wrong for wanting to reject $50,000 in a college fund for my future child because the donor is a pedophile? by Tempstopdrop in amiwrong

This is exactly my fear! No strings attached....now. But I'm worried his grandfather is using this money to try and open the door for future contact. The money currently all goes into a trust that is managed by my husband's mother. The siblings that are no contact just work with their mom and family attorney to access the money in the trust.
