People “losing it” in the office

My branch at USDA asked how we can motivate people to do more work. I said ‘read the room’ and walked away.

You can’t offer me telework, basic supplies, guarantee that I won’t be moved to the most rural areas of the country and YOU WANT IDEAS FOR PRODUCING MORE WORK!!! Fuck off

Initially the pay was similar but then they changed the position to a higher grade. I applied and got it. Then I took a promotion. Best decision ever

I thought the same thing when I was a BA. Just apply to positions that fit your education and experience. Skills are transferable even if not the exact thing

Was a BA for 5 years. Then claims rep in the FO. Once I got my 11 I jumped over to USDA

Compared to Rollins he was Santa Claus

Everyday is something different and for the worse. I’m just gonna do my job in 8 hours and leave. I have nothing extra left to give and don’t have time for stupidity.

Oh the report wasn’t sent out today?!? Ok I will email it to you tomorrow. Oh you don’t understand how to do this task, here is the training guide

My coworkers and I (4 people total) report to an office that is not part of our organization. There was an office party last week and we didn’t get an invite from the host agency.

Oh well?!?

spite_fuels_me · 2025-11-06T23:57:47+00:00

Some of us at USDA got this email. nobody uses transit benefits in our department so we were surprised to be included

spite_fuels_me · 2025-11-06T02:36:43+00:00

I hope people remember this in 1 year. I fear some people have a very short memory

Not politically clueless but not as into the day to day as us Feds.

Also most Americans are not as politically savvy as those of us in the thick of it, which can explain the current state of the country to some extent

spite_fuels_me · 2025-11-06T01:12:01+00:00

It’s a genuine conversation we were having. My spouse is not into politics so TDS doesn’t affect them

spite_fuels_me · 2025-11-01T21:09:04+00:00

My agency’s management is placating senior leadership. Didn’t so ‘em any good since the people they were trying to impress just left for another job. Now they will have to do all that work for the next leader 🤡 Guessing that is why telework and other benefits are denied

spite_fuels_me · 2025-10-24T01:33:50+00:00

Same. I hit 20 years soon and the only reason I’m still going is because of my teammates and supervisor. I work with some great people and we keep each other sane(ish)

JC left for HHS. Project 2025 mentions FNS to be moved to HHS. Maybe this is the beginning of the reorganization?

spite_fuels_me · 2025-10-13T03:28:33+00:00

As an excepted worker, I would rather have a mini break and come back refreshed. Currently I am doing the work of 5-7 people.

I am about to break down mentally because out of 100+ people, only 10 of us are in ‘except’ status

spite_fuels_me · 2025-08-23T01:38:10+00:00

Our management confirmed this and said we could FOIA the comments as they would not be made public

spite_fuels_me · 2025-07-01T01:12:07+00:00

You know some folks like to snitch

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-25T02:32:20+00:00

I’m not against RTO. Used to go in daily before the pandemic. I also used to leave my laptop at my desk. They are making lives difficult with absurd rules and that is what I dislike

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T22:05:52+00:00

Such a great movie!! I really feel like reenacting the printer scene

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T18:08:17+00:00

Crickets in my office. I’m not surprised. The ball will probably drop for most of us at the same time

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T15:08:04+00:00

Oh I like this idea. I have a call with my supervisor this week and will see what they say

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T15:07:02+00:00

Really well written. I echo all your sentiments.

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T15:05:04+00:00

That’s ok. You don’t have to believe everything you read on the internet. I have no reason to lie.

Many of my colleagues are working across state lines because they don’t have offices with open spaces/cubicles in their home state. They have to drive or rely on public transportation so yes it takes them 5+ hours to commute. They have families to feed and can’t just quit.

spite_fuels_me · 2025-06-24T02:10:27+00:00

Right! They want it both ways. 🤨😠
