Federal Employees, how ya'll feeling?

[Traveler]

No. Retirement stays the same. We're just paying more into it.

I thought about leaving at 57 then taking a contractor job. Having two checks coming those 5 years. But leaving at 62 and getting the 1.1% is like 10% raise every year for the rest of my life.

Still, I would like to have the option. Doesn’t it look like that's gonna be available anymore. Nothing has actually passed yet, but it's not looking good.

I've resigned myself to 4 years of getting fukked.

Went back and re read the thread, I think folks were underestimating how much damage these two fukks were going to do. A former co worker of mine just got laid off because they told her she had to move to DC or resign. She can’t move because her mom is sick here with cancer

Hope the next administration adds it back in

I would love that Trump fukks up so bag, it pushed voters to elect some one totally opposite of him & that would enforce the laws we already have on the books.

But one of the most disappointing things that will most likely come from this (if we even get past this MAGA era) is that Overton Window will be pushed right for American voters.

They’ll elect another moderate like Biden, Clinton…..and keep a lot of Trump’s bullshyt going. These benefits he’s cutting….even if the Republicans, I highly doubt any milquetoast Democrat Presidential candidate pushes to get back.

Same way Dems got “tough on crime” after Bush Sr pushed them right. in this sense, both sides are similar.

If we make it thru these 4 years or buddy meets his maker best believe I’m calling off a full week just to celebrate.

I’m talking grilling In the winter

"Monique’s final days were spent in that climate of fear and stress while feeling devalued in the workplace, before dying on the job two months ago, according to her sister.”

“Monique came in and went to her desk, where she fell asleep, according to a Baltimore County Police report that the agency shared with CNN. Paramedics spent about 40 minutes trying to revive her, the report says, but the 53-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene."

That’s sad.

My cousin recently retired after 35+ years from the Dept of Ed. She’s only in her 50s so she had more time but I understand her choice. She’s looking forward to spend time with her grandchildren.

Another cousin working overseas was telling me about his USAID colleagues who were given 30 days to leave. Their computer access had already been revoked so they had to rely on other friends to get details . Imagine uprooting your family, young children in school on short notice.

I’m definitely thankful. The new ‘fight’ is over space—they can put me in the mailroom; I’m just glad to have a job.

Welp...it was fun while it lasted y'all. Today made a year I was back with the Feds. Tomorrow is my last day. We got consolidated and since I'm the newest hire (and Black), I was probably gonna be the first fired so I took DRP. Got some things in the works but I'm gtfo the DMV area. Best of luck to y'all that's still stuck in the shyt.
