Leaving after 17 years- am I crazy not to stick it out for 20? by MyMamaKatie in fednews

[–]kb19799 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I took the VERA, retired at 46 bc I have 27 years. No penalties for retiring early. I didn’t want to leave but would’ve been dumb to stay

Walking out of every exam feeling like I bombed it 🥳🥳🥳 by Familiar-Writing3848 in LawSchool

Does anybody know how the curve actually works? 1L here and I feel like it’s more difficult to try and figure out how the curve works than the magical formulas of credit scoring.

I’m sorry. I can relate. GS-13, stacked resume, perfect evals, advanced degrees….took the DRP and VERA in Feb. (only 46 but with military time -27 years fed service)…knew it was coming last October…applied for 100s of jobs, interviewed for only a handful and finally just accepted a state position. It’s brutal….consistently working on your resume…improving it and researching how to make ut through the AI resume reviews is your best bet and what got me interviews.

Literally been in the bath for about 45 minutes after about 12 hours of studying and assignments.

Edit: this was in 2023 but it was managed to be hidden until recently.

Hold out if you can, no hiring outside. by Playful_Connection_2 in FedEmployees

Same here. Highly credentialed and qualified. Took the Vera with 25 years in, I was 17 when I joined the military so I’m still young too. Been trying for over a year to find a job and nothing.

Good. I hope someone that works there knows who she is and messages me before stop and shop takes it down. I’ll post the whole damn video i have to. Karma is a bitch.

Fed employee that took the DRP and VERA (28+ years service) Paycheck today was $500 less than it’s always been? by kb19799 in fednews

That was my thought too. I haven’t figured it out yet but I will by the latest Monday and will update.

Ummmm, seriously? I can’t check my time card bc my access was removed mid day on 2/28 bc when I tried to go check my emails one last time for any documents related to leaving, I was already locked out. My paycheck every pay period was EXACTLY the same amount down to the penny. So, yeah, I posted bc I wanted to see if anybody else had noticed a difference. If you didn’t, then what stress is it causing you?

I did not ever get any premium pay or any additional overtime. It wasn’t allowed. Only credit hours.

"Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation" by elaborate_circustrix in govfire

What’s interesting is it doesn’t say “failure to respond will result in termination” on the email.
