Conflicted about using spite against family who voted for our current awful situation.

Maybe I'm insane, but as an elder millennial fed who has had to fight with boomer parents about the direction we are in, I have tried to think about how to apply pressure to people who think this is all fine or don't understand it isn't. Someone who chose the path that led to this stress I feel about possibly losing my job on top of with the loss of time with my family that this unnecessary RTO has applied aside from that should be made to suffer as i do on the back end. Why shouldn't they feel some of this pain that has been inflicted as well. I doubt I am alone here but my parents voted for this. So for no reason other than the administration's need to inflict pain, I see my wife and child a lot less even though the work got done as it was before the ridiculous RTOs and everything else and nobody was the worse for it. I don't want to see my parents as it stands because I know they and everyone like them voted for this and why shouldn't they see their grandchild less because they chose this path. I don't know if it is right to suggest this as a weapon against those who did this to us, but if I don't get to see my family, why should they? It's been a long day and a long few months. I am tired of holding my tongue and being pleasant and avoiding politics with these people. How is everyone else doing this? Talk me off the ledge if I am being an asshole about it. Godspeed to you all.

Can we ever go back to the way it was? Could it all be rebuilt?

I'm not a Fed employee, but I've been lurking since innoguration. Thank you to all of you who are in the trenches and I'm sorry you are dealing with this insanity.Thinking of the federal government, do you think we can ever go back to the way things were? Can the soft power, the working systems, the processes in all these agencies be recreated? When?

I really don't get the cult.

My wife and I both work for the government. We will almost certainly receive our rif notice in May considering we are administrative employees. My family is incredibly sympathetic; however, the inlaws are hardcore Trump supporters. I mean with the t-shirts, hats, big signs and life-size cutouts of Trump on their lawns. What's bizarre is her father retired from the state of New York with an amazing package. Much better than FERS and routinely bragged about working third shift and watching TV all night. Well now all government workers are garbage and lazy and need to be fired. I was certain the man would have a change of heart when it hit home. When it affected his family. Boy was I wrong. The wife called her dad and put him on speaker or I probably wouldn't have believed it. She said me and my husband have 15 years of service and we are about to be fired. His response was and I quote, "oh well, McDonald's is hiring". Who says this? What father takes the side of a political party over their child? It's honestly a mental illness. There's no other way to describe it.

RIF whiplash and why reinstatement rights matter.

You're fired. You're not fired. You're fired. You're a ballerina. You're hired again. Fuck you. You're fired. We've all seen agencies fire and unfire people. It's important to remember that even if you don't immediately get rehired, I promise you, be it 6 months or a year from now the government is going to have to post jobs to rehire a bunch of people because they messed up. They messed up bad. People who are RIFd get reinstatement preference for 2 years. So even if you get let go, don't give up.

The left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing

Its wild that IRS employees were offered shift changes in the morning, then sent RIF plan notices in the afternoon, the probationary employees are coming back on the 14th, tax season ends 04/15, upload your resume by 04:14, you’re only “essential” or “mission critical” until 05:15 (at the latest), there are protests around the world, Karoline Leavitt looks good for 47, Marjorie Taylor Greene is some where starching her white hood, and Trump is playing golf… oh and I’ve just been made aware that groceries is an “old-fashioned” word.Did I miss anything?

Economic impact of RTO at my household level

So I started my full-time RTO, a long commute of five days a week, about 6 weeks ago. Before that, I was doing 2 or 3 days a week. I just got my monthly credit card statement. Despite the fact that I am spending more on gas and also buying more coffee instead of brewing my own at home, my expenses for the past 4 weeks were significantly less than any of my monthly expenses in the previous months as far back as I can remember. I was super surprised at first.Then I realized - These days, I am going out for happy hours or dinner a lot less because I am exhausted. I also did not do any weekend trip to the mall because I am exhausted. I know the DC mayor thought RTO would help the district economy, but as far as I can see on my credit card statement, it is the opposite. I wonder if this is just me or is a shared experience by many RTO'ers.

Is anyone else who has the means to do so, checking their work email on their days off?

My paranoia of getting a RIF email has me checking my work email at least once if not every off-day.Curious if I'm alone in this.

What am I missing about retirement pension?

Using easy numbers, high 3 salary x 1% x years of service. $100k x 1% x 30 = $30k a year. Plus you contribute 4.4% every year you work.What am I missing here, is the TSP and social security supplement that good? The pension on its own after 30 years just doesn’t seem worth it. I know pensions are rare but for the current quality of life, idk anymore.

Love to All Federal Employees

I retired in December; however, I send my heartfelt care, concern and well wishes to everyone dealing with the craziness right now. Just know what you do everyday is a great value to the people of this country weather they know it or not. You deal with a level of madness those in the private sector do not understand. May all be well with you and your families. ♥️
