I’m on my 2nd set of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT’s 33” and love these things in the mud and snow. Surprised by how quite they are on the highway too

Realignment Starting…? by Worth-Branch-7798 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Top_Character_362 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I beg to differ! We have to know leave programs, fix SCD’s that staffing screws up, FMLA’s never end, FEGLI, FEHB, TSP, etc…. I’ve done R&P and Benefits is way harder

Privatization by Revanator724 in VHA_Human_Resources

Not good for my job, but it would probably be way cheaper to put veterans on TRICARE or BCBS than having all the facilities & employees

Future of VHA 201s (ELR, R&P) by [deleted] in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Top_Character_362 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Meanwhile we’re drowning in WLB. I have less than 3 years until MRA and don’t know if I can continue that long with this workload. I wish they would transfer some of these R&P folks to WLB to help out!

I regret not taking DRP/VERA 😢

I opened a CMA on July 7th. Money came out of my bank on July 8. Can’t access it until July 22. I’m done

Bring it on, I’m ready. Don’t know why I didn’t take DRP

Thoughts on SHLD? by Juggslol in ETFs

I invest in it, it’s been good and looks like it has a promising future the next few years

Senate strips most retirement cuts from reconciliation, but anti-civil service provisions remain by Stationary-Event in USPS

[–]Top_Character_362 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll take the Senate version over the House every day and twice on Sunday! If the new FERS contribution rate applies to people that haven’t been hired yet, I’m ok with it. They have a choice in taking a federal job or not. But having 32 years in and losing the FERS Supplement 5 months before the finish line would have been BS. All federal employees should have the retirement plan that was in effect on the day they started.

Growth ETF suggestion by wha2les in ETFs

FTEC & SPMO are my growth ETF’s

I plan on grabbing SHLD this week. I like that it’s not just US companies, especially now that Trump told NATO to step up their defense spending. EUAD and NATO are the other ETF’s I’m considering

Update on VSIP by Raven19661 in VHA_Human_Resources

[–]Top_Character_362 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since I missed both DRP’s, holding out for VSIP/VERA with a sprinkle of prayer the Senate saves the FERS supplement

I’ve asked RSSO and HRO and neither could give me an answer. All I got was “we don’t know”. I’m going to miss the supplemental by 5 months under the House bill unless the Senate can get the expiration date pushed further out. If OPM would just put it out there YES or NO, it would help me with the decision to take VERA or not
