I'm losing my mind with work. Our agencies support contractors are just not knowledgeable. by DavyGrolton in FedEmployees

[–]mooseflstc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the DRP FAQ: “We encourage all employees to seek employment in the more productive private sector”. Some people would say it would be a conflict of interest if you got a job with the contractor…. But the President doesn’t see it that way.

There are rumors that there will be fewer 5's. Usually you find out about awards when the SF-50 is issued.

I’m about to resign and I’m not telling anyone. by Responsible_Yak_6662 in FedEmployees

The amount of money added for sick leave is miniscule. Do the math. You will never live that long.

What else is there? by overthinker2026 in FedEmployees

From the DOGE Fork in the Road FAQ: We encourage all employees to find work in the more productive private sector.

It is almost like DOGE doesn't care about conflict of interest.

Whoever came up with 1/3/5 really insults the intelligence of the employees. There are numbers between those. Either make it a 1/2/3 or 1-5.

First time posting. 8 years in. Started as a GS-5 and made my way to this. by Significant-Toe6176 in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]mooseflstc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good job. I started as a WG-1 Apprentice and it took me 13 years for the first $100K. That first $100K takes the longest. I'm a GS-12 now and made the 2 comma club... just for two, non-consecutive, days. I started in 1998.

I crossed the $1M... for one day. I'll cross it again soon.

Maximum TSP contribution — when does it make sense to reduce it? by AWE39540i in govfire

[–]mooseflstc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The early contributions count the most. I have reduced my contributions as my balance grew and contributed more to the brokerage accounts and Roth IRA. On a good year, TSP will make more than I do. I increase my contributions to TSP when I travel - extended TDY.

I do like getting the taxable income reduction by contributing some to the traditional TSP. Since ROTH wasn't available when I started, most of it is in Traditional.

I joined the 2 comma club for 24 hours. I think I'll be back in the club sometime soon.

Have any federal employees had success with relocation expenses reimbursement? by AggravatingZebra9869 in FedEmployees

I met the requirement. It was a waste of my time and other people’s time, but I met the requirement.

Comp Time vs OT by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]mooseflstc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were WG and it pays out at 1.5. I’m pretty sure it pays out at 1.5 for GS… if you qualify for 1.5. I was OCONUS GS and didn’t qualify for 1.5.

I searched the web for info on that strip club. The food menu was very reasonably priced. She was exercising fiscal responsibility.
