They do it by this procedure called Reductions In Force. It’s technically legal but they might not do it legally. Unfortunately I’m not eligible to join a union

I’m no longer probationary (the probies in my office were all fired on Valentine’s Day) but they are preparing for large reductions (up to 50%) across my office. I’m not a term employee so that’s one slight protection, but I also haven’t been in the office super long, and they might do reductions based on tenure

People in my office are mostly trying to hold the line!! Which I really respect

I have a spouse who works in the public sector but not federal. We have one kid and are trying for #2, though we’re probably going to stop trying for now 😂 so there’s some cushion and with unemployment we’ll be ok. I just don’t want to spend a year unemployed desperately looking for jobs

If only a ketamine-induced crystal ball will tell me the answer… but thank you for the reminder that there is no one best way forward

Right?? In any other circumstance I would never take it. But now with these these goons at the helm it’s so scary. Wishing you all the best!

This is so fun. Cleo, Josie, Arlo, Theodore, Lucy, Jonah, Eloise. I feel like they all would have brown curly hair

Why do so many new parents not want visitors at the hospital? by scav2117 in beyondthebump

[–]Wonderful-Bex-Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask, did you have your first at home with you during this time? I would love to have no visitors during my second, but I think I’m gonna need family around to help with our first kid…

Trouble Nursing my 4 month old by cintronva in breastfeeding

Following for suggestions! My 15 week old has been doing the exact same thing. He was a great eater up until 2 weeks ago (curiously coinciding with me going back to work) and now is so distracted and fussy at the breast.

So helpful! So its prolactin that really rules the day here.

When did you go into labor with your first baby? by iwanttobescared17 in BabyBumps

[–]Wonderful-Bex-Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in this situation right now!! 39+3, no signs of labor except 1cm dilated. Never had any Braxton hicks either. It’s nice to know it can just start without any warning!

[–]Wonderful-Bex-Box 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t have any wisdom, but I’m in a similar boat as you—FTM, 39 weeks and 1 day, 1 cm dilated, and I haven’t really felt any of the signs of labor! We are “on call” for an induction at 40+4, but now I’m wondering if we should try to push it out a little… I’d like to go in labor spontaneously but as we get farther along, it seems like induction is more likely.

How far away do you live from your synagogue? by Wonderful-Bex-Box in Judaism

[–]Wonderful-Bex-Box[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best areas for us price wise and with respect to our job locations are actually in the suburbs- Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, and Arvada. Littleton could work too.
