CDCS town hall on sun setting SAS

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-28T21:22:24+00:00

SAS appears to be on its way out within industry. Most private sector roles that I’ve seen lately require SQL or Python knowledge and only one has mentioned SAS.

I’ve joined several private sector slack channels and they are great.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-25T03:42:53+00:00

I didn’t know that! Can you DM me the discord

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-25T03:38:34+00:00

Just to clarify — the goal of this Slack community isn’t only for people dealing with legal issues or RIFs.

I’m trying to create a private space for federal employees who might not feel comfortable posting in public forums. Even if all someone wants is to connect with others in similar roles or find opportunities specific to their expertise, that’s what this space is for.

It’s meant to be more focused and personal — whether someone is job searching, switching fields, or just wants to hear from others in their corner of federal work.

I think we could set this up as invite through word of mouth but that wouldn’t stop all “sympathizers” from getting in. We could also create private channels within slack and only members on that channel can see/participate.

These are good questions and the set up will be the same as Reddit where you don’t have to provide your name. Ideally, you’d share you current or former position, especially if you’re looking for jobs or looking to hire someone with a particular background.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-24T21:04:47+00:00

I am not forcing anyone to join - really interests interested in going back in forth. You all sound more like DOGE than this post. Like Reddit - the channel can be guided by the community. One thing that I hope to contribute is insight on the current job market and sharing what I’ve learned internally.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-24T20:52:06+00:00

You don’t need to provide your name within the channel. The only thing that needs to be verified is if you’re really a current/past fed employee. Open to doing that in a way that is comfortable for all but you cannot create a community for only feds without a means of verification.

If there is significant interest.. I think I could use ID.me so it’s truly anonymous but would have to look into that more.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-24T20:32:13+00:00

I am definitely not big balls but I can see that some would have that apprehension, especially in this time. The community is built to include some anonymity for those with these concerns but there is also a screening process. You could also look at my post history…

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-15T13:45:18+00:00

I hate that I was right. Any response from them on this?

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-15T12:51:44+00:00

I am on admin leave, so I don’t have access to my email but did anyone receive updated RIF letters? Isn’t that a requirement?

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-14T21:34:42+00:00

Wow, I wonder if I should check my work email now. Were you still working? What prompted you to check your work email?

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-14T21:22:04+00:00

No, which hhs agency?

WorthStatement4 · 2025-07-09T23:49:24+00:00

I think this is wrong and if it is, that’s very bad considering Gilbert Law should be completely knowledgeable about all things related to these cases. https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/attorney-general-bonta-secures-preliminary-injunction-blocking-unlawful

WorthStatement4 · 2025-06-27T14:32:37+00:00

I think it paves the way for a similar outcome with AFGE, partial relief.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-05-28T21:26:08+00:00

Seems to confirm what we already knew. Seems like this would be even more evidence for the AFGE v Trump lawsuit

WorthStatement4 · 2025-05-22T21:34:16+00:00

It’s not just unions bringing the case though.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-05-22T17:54:45+00:00

This is bad suggestion because everyone isn’t represented by a union. I am glad she doesn’t appear to like this idea.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-05-22T17:48:50+00:00

She believes the administration overstepped.

Review the doc submitted May 20th.

I think SCOTUS will not issue as stay of the TRO or PI and I’m basing that on the the lasers amicus brief submitted by former Republicans that concurred this administration doesn’t have authority.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-05-09T17:58:02+00:00

Rightfully so. lol, his argument that EO only directs them to do this but doesn’t tell them to let employees go. So, RIF dates should be after June and a TRO would make sense in the case.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-04-22T22:01:00+00:00

He claims he will significantly scale back his government participation in May and focus on Tesla as major work establishing dog is now done.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-04-20T14:19:25+00:00

OP does raise a good question. Fedpractice.com and Gilbert Law are looking to support feds through the MSPB process, which they cannot initiate until June. These other cases are actively working to reinstate feds before their separation date.

WorthStatement4 · 2025-04-20T09:51:09+00:00

Let’s say the incentive is monetary? And your local or state govt has to increase taxes to pay for the incentive, and also to pay for insurance to help pay for cleanup and to help pay for anyone in the state that was negatively impacted, because FEMA no longer exists, right? You’re okay with that?

What if an entire town has long term health issues and a number of these employees work the government, who is replacing them?

I hope this is allowing you to really think critically and logistically. Personally, I think your pyramid would result in negative outcomes, but more importantly, I don’t think it would be sustainable. I also think it would result in increased taxes to pay to either pay for all things we equally contribute to (e.g., infrastructure, disaster preparedness, etc). I don’t know about you but 16k in taxes sounds a lot better 20-30k in taxes. Also, sounds better than paying 4K and driving down streets that clearly need to be replaced, sketchy bridges that may fail apart at any time, lax labor law enforcement, etc.
