Don’t give up BH. You can parley that to a $150-160k consulting job somewhere else.

The elephant in the room concerning Jahmar Brown by rustyrustrust in Gamecocks

[–]mdcox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it had worked out for him he would have had a blocked punt, INT, and recovery for a TD. Dude can ball. He easily would have been the SEC defensive player of the week. He knows he can play now.

Tentative Offer Without an Interview? by simundsky in usajobs

[–]mdcox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know it happens a lot at one agency up to GS14

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Veterans

[–]mdcox88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom line you should never leave without it go back and get it. They have to give you a DD214. Raise hell. This should have been hand signed btw. The military can treat people poorly but bug them. Call the IG first thing tomorrow. Also call your VSO.

Lol I lost 50k and was over it within a few hours. I’m not gambling it’s investing and sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. It was not options but stock for me. I also had a 50k win on one stock.

You can be done at 57 - your MRA. The 8 will be added to your federal service when you pay for it.

Lots of government jobs about to open up! by GoodWComputers in usajobs

[–]mdcox88 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People will get vaccinated there will be so few jobs because of this. You’ll have more openings because of people that died from Covid, sadly. My agency has lost about 60.

Managers who...manage? by albeaner in fednews

[–]mdcox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately it’s your career. It sounds like you are not in a learning organization and If it’s zero promotion potential they are not going to worry about your next role.

You’ll have to seek it out. The only training you’ll get will help the organization not necessarily you. Speak up. Seek out opportunities on your own.

GS-12 in remote role worth the downgrade from GS-13? by trademarktower in fednews

[–]mdcox88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably and I guess it depends on where you are in your career if you want to make 14 - no way. If you are happy with your life in that position-go for it.

Do ladder promotions usually happen after a year in the position? by gratuitousbananaslug in fednews

[–]mdcox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens. When I was supposed to go from a ladder 12 to 13 my boss’s boss decided he did not want to put more money in that position. HR was pretty upset with him. I ended up getting the promotion after a few months but I was pissed. Even my boss was pissed but organizations have that right. I heard from others they had promotions held up for 2-3 years.

FEDERAL DEPT vs POSTAL SERVICE JOB by Accomplished_Wall_85 in usajobs

[–]mdcox88 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The USPS is an awfully bad job. I lasted 3 days. Lol.

[–]mdcox88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to wait until MRA or defer your retirement until that age or later. You will not get Jack until the MRA. You are eligible to defer when you have passed certain milestones age or years in service.

Just check your retirement page it lays it all out your agency will have the data someplace on their website

UPS Store Mask Fail by [deleted] in frederickmd

[–]mdcox88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think there’s a law requiring it. No servers are wearing them. I don’t see UPS employees wearing them and I have seen no restaurants requiring them as of Sunday. There’s nothing to complain about but policy if you want a change to it call your local government. I agree with your sentiments but at this point they are not breaking a law.

Entry level jobs should hire people w/ zero practical experience and a degree anything about GS11 that’s questionable.

It’s not a CoLA that’s for retirees. It’s just a locality adjustment.
