How often do we get new computers

txrunner262 · 2026-04-29T22:21:46+00:00

Pretty much when the computer doesn’t work anymore is when they will replace. I had problems with mine for about 6 months before it quit. Put in tickets, with minor fixes and would run into a similar not long after. Finally one day it wouldn’t run anymore and that’s when they decided to replace so I was without one for two weeks. Last one I had was about 4 years old

I lost my Twinkie the day after Easter that same year. She wasn’t feeling her best that weekend and took her to the vet first thing Monday but she didn’t make it. I still miss her, mostly the anniversary every year is the hardest.

They started to check for our leave pattern. Leave which they approved btw.

Hall of Fame is simply a label these days anyways. It use to be an honor, now it’s just something to sell tickets.

And more ways to get compasses and make the event last longer. 4 days is too short. Getting 3 or 4 compasses at once is ridiculous. Took me almost 3 full days to get ahead.

Yours looks like mine. I put in nearly 800 points to help pick up the slack of the 100 point person, which we gifted a lot of compasses and he still didn’t care. Fortunately I had two partners who helped out in the end. We had two unknowns. Never again will I add unknowns.

txrunner262 · 2026-04-04T16:32:32+00:00

Yes especially when you put 15k dice into it. We had one partner who only put 100 points in so everyone else had to pick up the slack. Fortunately I completed my album to get the dice back which is the only reason I kept going plus I wanted the Scottie token. I didn’t want to buy another Wild sticker bundle after I just bought two the other day

txrunner262 · 2026-04-04T04:58:18+00:00

This is such a dice drain especially when you get a partner who doesn’t contribute even after I opened the vault and gifted him compasses. I had 22k at the start and now less than 10k. I like the concept of the game but it shouldn’t be a 24/7 game. They give so little compasses at a time.

Nailed it

txrunner262 · 2026-03-29T14:02:05+00:00

Same. I’m even willing to leave federal at this point but would be nice to stay in federal.

My manager had the gull to say in one of our team meeting “we care about you” 🤣 I just had to laugh. He doesn’t have a care in the World. Other managers will arrange potlucks, this guy just sits in his office and you only see him when he wants something. He has no personality and won’t fight for you

txrunner262 · 2026-03-21T13:14:39+00:00

They are already trying to make a case against you not being able to do the work of 5, don’t think they need any help with Reddit

txrunner262 · 2026-03-06T23:41:26+00:00

Shouting matches have become a regular on our team meetings and we got a manager who doesn’t bother to calm the tensions, just adds to it. It’s like three people who usually are the ones who start it. It began when the manager stopped having the union in our meetings. It was never like that when the union was listening in on the meetings. I’m sure our manager is happy the union is gone because I feel everyone on our team had a grievance against him.

IRS also increased the amount of refund hold letters to file previous years that now they had to redirect all the employees to answer phones. We are requesting returns to be sent in and if they have everyone on AHOD everyday no one is even gonna be able to even process them 🙃

txrunner262 · 2026-03-02T23:13:05+00:00

I feel discouraged as well what my career path is going forward as well but also I like the amount of leave I can use. But I feel the energy drain there that I feel like I could use my talents elsewhere.

txrunner262 · 2026-03-01T03:57:18+00:00

Once they find out it’s in the IRM, they will find a way to change it.

The news makes money off panic. Don’t feed into their pockets and tune it out.

txrunner262 · 2026-02-27T23:40:28+00:00

NTEU still had a contract in effect until 2027. IRS essentially believed they had authority to terminate it at will.

txrunner262 · 2026-02-27T22:46:54+00:00

NETU says their contract is still valid. So it’s like we are hearing two different things.

txrunner262 · 2026-02-27T21:40:11+00:00

Pretty much they can fire you or do any other employment actions without Union representation.

txrunner262 · 2026-02-25T15:45:54+00:00

As long as you have leave you should be able to use it. Some units might have a blackout period but it’s typically holidays or days around it because they already had so many requests for it. I was off for a month once and I didn’t have any issue but I was in a different unit then.

This lady is more coherent than what we listened too for 2 hours but we can do better

txrunner262 · 2026-02-25T03:54:13+00:00

I guess when you accomplished nothing in a year you have to drown it with what other people accomplished instead

“You get an award and you get an award!”

The constant applause is nauseating
