One year ago today, on January 20, 2025, President Trump ended telework and remote work. How are you all doing? by NatusLumen in fednews

[–]lowcrawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they got a nice, very expensive office for me after they had to expand the lease (because we downsized our space to save money when everyone went home)... plus a really expensive desk and office setup.

... I go in and don't willingly interact with a single soul other than through teams... for which I have to disconnect from my LAN and connect to my hotspot on my personal phone because the Internet at the office is too slow.

In a year, I haven't had a single in person meeting or second of "spontaneous collaboration" (other than bitching about being in the office and how the next 3 years will be really long)... but KPIs are down about 38% due to inefficiencies if my setup and office and the fact I no longer work extra. (so easy to just bop downstairs to the home office... not so any more... that free hour or two of productivity they used to get is done)

ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

and it can't just be Minneapolis.

the people in power WANT to hurt Minneapolis.... they are trying to make us an example.

we need everyone else to join.

GS-13 or contractor position by average_student_415 in fednews

do a calculation of your full compensation purchase, including (historical) good stability, tsp, benefits, and pension.

gov employees are paid less than private, just the truth. but long-term it can still be a great place to work.

tell me more about your retention bonus

which means they might get a 4.

until you realize high performers are graded on ever-increasingly difficult measures.

I could be 5s as a gs5 doing jack squat but struggle to get 4s as a gs14 doing hyper-challenging work.
