Being a Federal Employee is so Exhausting
Off My Chest: I am just exhausted. I am with GSA and have struggled for about a week to know if I should take the DRP. I keep going back and forth—whether I should look out for myself or look out for my coworkers. My severance would be minimal and I am likely the first to get RIF’d. I really wanted the Administrator to tell us if more RIFs are definitely coming to help me make a decision. All GSA said was additional RIFs are dependent on how many people take the DRP/VERA/VSIP. This was not helpful at all. I feel depressed. I feel broken. I feel tired. I am starting to get almost daily migraines. I sleep as soon as I get home from work and have insomnia or nightmares some nights. I dread going into the workplace since every conversation is centered around firings. I hate seeing my field office slowly crumble because more and more people are taking the DRP or retiring since that’s the best option they see (no judgement towards them, it’s just sad seeing so many people go). This administration needs to wake up and see the damage it’s doing. So many people fought so hard and earned their seats with the Government, and yet we’re being punished for things that we never did. I am just tired.Any words of encouragement would be helpful as well as sharing your own stories and experiences. Love you Fed Fam

Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Let's be honest, if they offered 5 years and medical care toward retirement they would have all the reductions they desire, Instead they want
Two Trillion in tax cuts for the rich while screwing the working person out of everything they have worked a lifetime for. Republican or Democrat makes no difference, they are all on the same team. The team against every person who works 40 hours a week.
