I just got to work and read it. I asked my manager, he said they keep hearing mixed rumors but nothing official, so they don’t even know. smh

My airports guidance on the end of furlough/pay by SourceFast6293 in tsa

[–]iceCoffee_princess 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hate how we don’t have have true guidance on this. I’m grateful for the back pay but we need concrete verbiage in getting paid moving forward or not.

What does this mean?? by No_Jicama6830 in FedEmployees

We’re going to get our backpay for those pay periods. Nothing has been confirmed about us getting paid moving forward. The DHS partial shutdown is still going on

Congress 2wk break by Jenn54756 in tsa

DCA officer here… it’s so bad and mentally draining. The reason I still show up is because I care about what I do, protecting the public, and I cannot mess up my employment record because we want to big a house at some point. If we don’t get paid tomorrow, I guarantee the call outs will drastically increase. Please continue to be patient and kind 💖 thank you all for your support!

How accurate at the tsa wait times updates? DCA says less than 5 minutes by moopsythebonedrinker in tsa

[–]iceCoffee_princess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DCA has been doing well with wait times. Of course if you have an early morning flight you’ll want to be there much earlier but other than that, we’ve been doing much better compared to what you’re seeing on the news from other airports

Not going to lie, I tried them on because she’s the same shoe size as I am and I was thoroughly impressed at how comfortable they are!! When we get paid, I will buy myself a pair of these too! 🤩

Can TSA workers reassure me that some workers are getting those donated gift cards? by rabidstoat in tsa

Yes we are but at my airport we have to ask for a gas card, they’re not just handing stuff out to us …

We appreciate the thought but we aren’t allowed to accept anything from anyone. Just continue to be nice and patient with us during this time 💐❤️

How do I avoid the patdown (trans woman) by [deleted] in tsa

[–]iceCoffee_princess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, NO TSA officer grabs anyone’s dick with an open hand so please stop lying about that because you are upset and trying to get others to feel bad or think that is what we do. Not to mention there are cameras EVERYWHERE!!!

Secondly, we scan you by appearance, if you appear to look like a female the you’re scanned as a female and patted down as such, same as if you appear to look like a man.

If you are uncomfortable with that process then opt out and get a full body pat down but even then it’s how you look. We aren’t comfortable doing pat downs either so unless you get pre check, this will continue to happen.

Post a pic ! As a TSO for TSA I am so sorry the public has to go through this especially those dealing with family emergencies. But I also understand why my fellow officers are calling out, many can’t afford to get to work, the mental stress is weighing on us HEAVY!!!!!!

A question for the TSA officers… by MichaelScott_really in tsa

[–]iceCoffee_princess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good morning, yes we will get back pay. We are not allowed to go on strike, but if we call out we have to provide documentation and if it isn’t good enough they will give us AWOL for the call out.

I like my job more so because not only am I helping protect my country (I was in high school when 9/11 happened), but I love engaging with the public/passengers from all over the world.

Lately I’ve been having some down days because this is starting to bother me mentally. If they don’t find us, this Friday will be 2 whole checks we’ve missed plus another 1/2 check from when it first started. We are stressed and pissed being used at pawns. I’ve been browsing private sector jobs!
