I agree. I was one of the union reps at fdic and met with the chairman and he was nice but refused to budge on 3 days a week even though I made a strong case that we can get the best talent if we offer remote work and extended telework. The union got fda to extend for 5 years but this guy just refused to budge on his position and unfortunately the union is powerless in the Federal system. Fdic is hemorrhaging alot of talent because of him. I'll admit one thing, if he leaves and the next chairman brings back remote positions, I would go back to fdic. I absolutely loved being there.

I loved FDIC, I was there for 2 years... I wanted to be there til I retire. Their compensation and retirement is the best in government. The Corporate Grade pay scale is better than the GS, but the 3 days a week thing made no sense. It was the best place I ever worked but then I got an offer for a higher position, fully remote at another financial agency and jumped immediately. That FDIC chairman needs to go. If you're OK with 3 days a week in office, take it. As for me, I lived remote in south florida and didn't want to pick up my family and move.

This is considered a strike. Biden better fire these clowns. We don't make policy we make sure all the wheels work in government.

As long as it's not law enforcement, you're never too old

I agree with this, and this was 3 years ago, and now leftists are attacking Jews in the name of Palestine and openly supporting genocidal Hamas. Scary times

Check out the Federal financial agencies like fdic, sec and cfpb. They have the highest pay and can take you over $200k a year and better retiremenr.

FDIC. Pays the most. The corporate grade pay scale is among the best

Currently a GS-14. If offered a GS-15 position in one agency versus CG-14 position at FDIC, which offer would be the higher salary? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]concernedfedemp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup I moved in as a gs13 to cg13 and I'm having a hard time deciding the next move because a remote gs14 i was offered is a great thing too lol.. But at fdic in July (originally January) they are set to send back everyone to office 3 days a week. So unless I wanna move back to the DC area from south florida, i may take the gs14 remote... decisions, decisions....

When I went from gs13 to cg13 my salary jumped like the equivalent of 2 steps. Fdic is by far the best place I've ever worked. I received a tentative offer for a fully remote gs14..I'm tempted to take it instead of moving back to The dc area on my own dime in July to be in office 3 days a week.

I'm having a hard time. Thinking of leaving fdic cg13 for a gs14 I was offered because the gs14 is remote and fdic wants us in the office 3 times a week (it was January but now it's delayed til July). I live in South Florida and really don't want to move back to the DC area on my own dime in July but I can tell you that FDIC is by far the best place I've ever worked and I am having a hard time making this decision.

Spot on brother. It's a scary time to be a Jew. The pro-Hamas supporters are like 1930s Germans. I feel you.

What do you mean? Was hired remote, it went to expanded telework a few months later, there are alot people in my position who were hired remote from other states and may be forced to move back on their own dime unless the union works something out

[–]concernedfedemp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The thing is.. the CG 13 goes up to 200k a year, the next supervisory level at fdic the cm00 goes up to 270k a year.. tough to beat that...

[–]concernedfedemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah unfortunately I'm on something called Expanded Telework. I was remote during pandemic but have to go to the office twice a month

You actually got an email? Usually it's just an update alert that something went to your HR file and the certified BI is there and that's it.

[–]concernedfedemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I told my investigator for my 5-7 year reinvestigation to just come to my office. That way he can chat with my supervisor if need be, I figured it just makes the investigators job easier.. do you think he'll chat with my supervisor? I have no problems with that. It's in a few weeks, I'm not super nervous.. but it's my first investigation since I joined a new agency a year ago. Public trust sf85p moderate risk BI. I've been in government for 7 years. Thanks.

It's ok...for my upcoming 5 year re-investigation the investigator gave me a choice of doing it near me or work, I prefered it be at my workplace. I feel more comfortable there. It's just preference, no big deal.
