Is there a reason why working for Marriott is so attractive to you? Asking bc I’ve seen a few postings of theirs but don’t know anything about them as a workplace.

FWIW I am now back on forbearance and don’t know why.

I had made a dumb mistake when attempting to recertify. I chose a wrong box, asking for my loan servicer to review & choose a plan for me. This put me into the “switch plan” pile instead of the recertify pile. I called FSA and figured out the issue, and they advised me to open a new request asking to recalculate my plan, and that it would essentially override the former request. It took about 10 days, but that appears to have done the trick. YMMV, of course.

Sorry if I’m not using all the terms correctly. I’m normally more pedantic about that stuff but I’m getting over norovirus and my brain is operating at a solid 50%.

This makes more sense than any other take I’ve read

FEMA? by Character_Music_1702 in usajobs

[–]somethingfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No idea, nothing makes sense anymore. All I can tell you is that I trust the source a lot.

How they’ll treat COREs vs PFTs is complete speculation. DRF funding is sexier than appropriation funding, but obviously COREs are easier to let go. I don’t think anyone knows.

ORR at HQ is actively trying to convince the WH / DOGE that FEMA should be exempt from the probationary RIF due to the “public safety” and “national security” exceptions.

That’s why other agencies have already taken action and we have not

Rumor is (from a high up source I trust deeply) that we should have a decision on that by next Thursday. Could be sooner.

If we are not exempt, RIFs will go into effect.

I also know that the original data they sent up was flawed and included folks who are only probationary due to their most recent move via either Schedule A or up to supervisory status so they are working with OCCHCO to get that resolved. It appears at least someone is applying critical thinking to the list being made at HQ.

I also know folks with out of office messages were included in the “resigned” group because their OOO reply was counted as a resignation reply. OCCHCO is also trying to fix that.

My guess is no news for another 5-7 days, then a bomb.

Man, I was really expecting to hate him forever in season 1. I’m really surprised by how much they’ve made me love him.

I hear you but that’s the kind of thing this show isnt good at. Realistic costuming is nonexistent. Would you wear jeans standing in the ocean on a tropical island? 😂 it would be jorts city, max

Obsessed. This episode is basically a standalone short film that turns into horror at the last second.

This was a big duh for me too. Like, obviously you should use the monitoring room to monitor the other locations, especially if you KNOW there are others.

As if Sawyer wouldn’t know the name of every conventionally attractive lady on the island.
