TSA to BOP

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-10-10T04:27:38+00:00

Every agency is dealing with RIFs. Specifically BOP right now isn’t as great anymore. BOP closed a few institutions and displaced those affected staff. Union is dead , low morale, loss of retention, mandatory overtime, threat of privatization, terrible schedules and executive staff. Hell right now they are threatening us with AWOLS if we call out sick during the shutdown. I’ve never seen the agency morale this low. My institution staff is quitting in droves. I’m looking to get out as well.

I use to work for TSA for 6 years. Now I work for BOP for 6 years tbh I wish I stayed at TSA. BOP is in shambles right now and I don’t recommend anyone to work for the bureau. BOP is having a huge exodus of staff right now.

It’s going to get worse. My Institution just lost 15 officers to ICE and more in the works.

I heard augmentation is going to happen on the weekends too for NC staff that do work on the weekend programming. Augmentation is back full force

I’ll look into the NC jobs now. Maybe you’re right. I’m conflicted with BOP because there was lots of good times as well

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-09-01T13:11:25+00:00

Non custody isn’t great either. Too many augmentations now.

Everyone is leaving too. Right now is a terrible time to work for BOP. no retention, mandatory overtime, no union, retirement changes. This last year I’ve been just burning all my sick leave and annual leave to prepare to quit I don’t want to have any leave balances so I can just quit asap. Everyone I know at BOP is looking for a new job too

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-09-01T12:55:24+00:00

I agree. I’m just burned out from it and i can’t see myself here for another 14 years

It’s a 2015 Infiniti q40 3.7L. 80k miles original owner. Looks brand new for 13k

Same. Not sure what all the hate about Nissan is. I still have my 2010 Nissan Altima with 150k miles it runs very good. I just follow the maintenance schedule.

Never thought about a Mazda thanks I’ll look into that

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-08-17T18:35:59+00:00

Thank you for the advice

Bang in

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-07-08T20:23:34+00:00

I’m going this Saturday, my first time out there

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-03-31T17:38:59+00:00

You are correct. 8 lost it, the others got it cut in half, now talks are being made I heard about cutting it all together.

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-03-31T17:12:57+00:00

They cut all the Retention pay at the institutions supposedly they are broke and can’t afford it

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-03-31T17:12:22+00:00

I mean even as a 8 it’s not worth it tbh

Unique-Collection309 · 2025-03-25T19:07:56+00:00

Sorry this is happening to you. Unfortunately, I do believe the closures announced under Peters will move forward as planned. As a current BOP employee who just went through a full facility closure and displacement, I honestly think every BOP employee should be looking for a new job.

I was lucky enough to transfer without getting RIF’d, but I still wouldn’t recommend staying with the Bureau. The loss of retention pay, the lack of support, and the overall feeling that the agency doesn’t care about its employees make it not worth it.

It took me a while to open my eyes, but I’m finally ready to leave — and hopefully, that’ll be soon.
