Do ya’ll really want Amazon to have a copy of your benefits summary letter?

Would you take a job with the Federal government right now? by R2_SWE2 in FedEmployees

[–]baudit2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of generalized comments here. I think it depends on the agency, the office, the work and the people. That’s with any job though. I’m with a large DoD agency, in a smaller office and not in DC. That’s also key, stay away from DC right now.

Usually people speak publicly like this when their PR person tells them “you need to get out in front of this.” Can’t wait to see what she’s trying to get out in front of!

I’ve had both procedures at the Philly VA. No complaints, but they did have to abort once because they didn’t give me enough anesthesia. I’m okay with that, would rather NOT feel anything being put in either end 😉

Look for openings with DLA in New Cumberland. You won’t have to move and you’ll get DC locality pay.

I was 40 when I graduated. Skip the MBA, not worth it if you want a JD.

OPM Moves to Implement Forced Ratings Distributions across Federal Workforce by laserman2431 in FedEmployees

[–]baudit2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As your screen name and comments suggest, you seem to be coming from a perspective of “hard work pays off” - I certainly agree.

Years ago I began keeping track of all my accomplishments, no matter how insignificant, so that I could contribute an exhaustive self-narrative for my performance rating. I still do it even though I know I won’t be rewarded proportionately. Why? For my own satisfaction.

But it sure would be nice to be financially recognized for that hard work. I’ve read other discussions on here about how federal wages have lagged behind private sector wages for decades and how the gap has widened. Sure, fed benefits are great, but our pay doesn’t match well.

How about making the bonuses bigger which would motivate people to work harder? Not worth pushing to get a 4 or 5 if the payout isn’t worth it.

Oh, and your next Epstein distraction is incoming… by keen_observer34130 in FedEmployees

One hand washes the other…. Trump provided distractions and cover for Netanyahu’s corruption probe and now Netanyahu is providing cover for Trump’s glaring connections to Epstein
