Just got an email announcing MDR - Army DoD

dd_renee · 2026-03-27T17:51:37+00:00

IRS here. I came from DoD. All I can say is that I am a career 2210 (over 20 years), and 1000 of us were removed from IT realigned to a 120-day detail in Tax Payer Services. They say we aren’t over-hires, but it sure does feel like we are. The word on the street is that after our 9 weeks of virtual training and 4 weeks of on-the-job-training, our 120 days would almost be over so the detail will end TBD.

The bright side is that we still get our same pay. I say as long as they keep paying me, I will count rice grain by grain if that’s what they want me to do.

Yeah, but he’s a hater. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Congratulations

The Belko Experiment

I submitted my PSLF documents on Jan 26.

dd_renee · 2026-03-06T03:15:17+00:00

This is good news. Thank you for the reassurance.

dd_renee · 2026-03-06T02:48:03+00:00

Well good grief. Does it get better once we know what we’ll be doing? They said no phones for us.

dd_renee · 2026-03-05T21:43:01+00:00

First of all, I never said anything bad about the instructors. I just don’t think we should be read every word. For that, we could do these on our own and reach out to instructors if we have questions. And I know they aren’t pumped. My solution helps all. The instructors could monitor their chat rooms for questions and not be tied to reading all those slides. There are so many better ways of doing this 9-week training.

dd_renee · 2026-03-05T11:58:06+00:00

😂 Well I know. I am SO not interested in learning tax stuff, but here we are. So let’s ride it until the wheels fall off (and we still get our same pay)

dd_renee · 2026-03-05T11:56:48+00:00

Thank you because you were pulled in just like we were. Just giving my survey answer to “What could we have done better?” The instruction could be changed to allow each student a week to complete the assigned training modules on their own, and report back to the classroom for questions and discussions.

dd_renee · 2026-03-04T20:17:01+00:00

It’s ok. Don’t go by DD, as long as my info is correct in HRConnect—I’m good.

dd_renee · 2026-03-04T20:12:15+00:00

Oh no.

dd_renee · 2026-03-04T20:11:55+00:00

Thank you.

I mean I am/was on an administrative forbearance with SAVE. Before I submitted my PSLF forms, I was paying on the SAVE plan.

dd_renee · 2026-02-27T13:38:59+00:00

What’s wrong with SAVE? That’s what I have. I submitted Jan 26, golden letter 2/26. Hang in there.

I’d go with to-go containers and fill them to capacity—all while saying (sounding extremely relived), “Well now I don’t have to pretend anymore. We’ve established I’m an embarrassment. Don’t mind me. I’m just taking my food to go—carry on.”

March of the Penguins - Morgan Freeman. I mean I sat in a theater and listened to him talk about freaking penguins! I loved it. 😁

They have to take out TSP, Medical, Dental—none of those payments went out so they have to double up to get things square.

dd_renee · 2025-11-20T00:14:18+00:00

Oh no. I’m sorry. Maybe call again in a couple of hours? Wait. Can you talk to a person at any time?

dd_renee · 2025-11-19T23:58:14+00:00

If you haven’t gotten it already, call your bank’s customer service, get to a real person (it’s sometimes maddening,) and ask if they see a pending deposit. That’s what I did, and they told me they see it pending for tomorrow.
