Can’t stop crying

I got the call on Sunday afternoon I was terminated from my forest service position. I was the only person in my position at my duty station. I cleaned out my office yesterday and said my goodbyes and all of the fire crews were livid or crying or both (I worked hand in hand with them). I wasn’t even gone for 6 hours when I got a call asking for help on something because nobody knows how to do what I did. I gave my all to those crews and I feel like I lost a part of my soul when I said goodbye to them. To all of those still working and pushing through, please be there for each other as much as possible. I can’t look after my crews the way I want to anymore and I just want the support system to continue because they need it more than ever. ♥️ Edit: I was admin, to clarify. Terminated due to “poor work performance” as a probationary employee despite having glowing appraisals. Was there for almost 2 years.

After all that anxiety yesterday, I was fired today

I'm not so incognito anymore. I had created .this account when I was still trying my hardest to keep my job.I worked for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for 8 months as a Senior Material Program Manager (GS-13). I absolutely loved my job and the people I worked with. I worked hard at my job and I earned myself a 5/5 performance rating.Two weeks ago I was warned by the department director my position was recommended for release. It has been the longest two weeks of my life. I didn't take the DRP becuase 1) I don't believe in the follow through and 2) I didn't want to leave a job I love. Nothing about DRP felt right. So I chose to stay.Yesterday, someone on my floor (not in my division) that sits near me received his email. I waited all day to get mine but I didn't. Everyone said I was in the clear, my response was always, "We'll see."Today my department director came into my space and sat with me while I cried over being handed this stock wording boiler plate OPM garbage termination letter. It definitely sites performance issues. My direct manager said he has only ever had positive things to say about the work I do.I love my job and team so much, I did everything I could to prepare them to take on my VERY heavy burden. I made a folder on the network drive and copied ALL of my files over (except personnel documents) and authorized SharePoint ownership to someone so my boss didn't have to worry about it. I also had a PPT created so they can manipulate the division logo I had created for widespread use AND left details about colors and fonts in the notes for the slides.I was able to send a goodbye letter to them and saw a couple on my way out. A coworker from another division gave me a protest pin before I left. She explained it... "Its a fork, but it has a tiny 'u' at the bottom, so it's saying FORK U." And that's perfect.I have 3 young children and $110k in student loan debt, and all the grown up bills to go with adult life. I got no severance. If I get unemployment I will not get much and I will not get it for long. I only needed 21 more payments to get PSLF (though I'm pretty sure that is going to be destroyed before I would have qualified anyway). I live in the DC metro area (aka DMV).I have only ever wanted to be a government employee because I have only ever wanted to help people. Since I was young, (early teens) I have imagined myself as a civil servant and I don't know how to be one. I will not be able to obtain state or local positions that pay even remotely as much as I was earning because, though I was new, I had extensive related experience for my position. I am also in a hub were tons of fired employees and contractors will need a new job.I'm absolutely screwed. But I'm not sitting down and being quiet. I'm going to stand up and shout it for EVERYONE to hear. And I need your help to do the same.

Never knew how much everyday people hated government employees until now

I really didn’t know how many people hated government employees til now. I see people celebrating layoffs and people being fired abruptly. It’s been jarring to say the least. Even saw someone say they hope the government shuts down and there is no back pay. It’s kinda sickening to be honest.

To the federal workers being terrorized: thank you from a grateful citizen

Thanks to Federal workers, we have beautiful national parks, clean air, fresh drinking water. We have someone merrily counting fish as they flash by in a river, or being chased by a sandhill crane when he tries to see if the whooping crane eggs have hatched yet (thanks for the memories, Dad, USFWS retired).Thanks to federal workers, our tax returns are processed, our banks regulated, our Social Security checks are processed. Thanks to Federal workers, our airplanes take off, fly, and land safely. Our special needs kids can get accommodations. Families with few resources can access medical care, housing, food.Federal workers are the heart of this country and make it beautiful.Thank you. I'm sorry I haven't said this sooner, or more often.

OPM delays Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS)

With EVERYTHING going on they know the Administration will get destroyed and the results will be available to the American people. Shameful!

To the person standing out front of the IRS HQ with a “God Bless Our Federal Workers” sign—

and passing out cookies, THANK YOU! I was dreading getting out of bed and going into work today (as I have for the past few weeks), and the support really helped me. Given all the attacks on federal workers and the amount of people who seem unaware of or apathetic about what’s happening to the federal workforce, it truly meant a lot to see yet another person willing to stand out in the cold and show their support. ❤️

@emill1984 rough translation to English:

Rocket shards fell on Poland #Falcon9 🤣

Today in Komorniki near Poznan, a tank was found on one of the properties, identical to one of those that once fell in the USA after a missile flight

Eh, this #Elon, barely got to power, he's already bombing Poland

Information from the profile #ZGlowaWGwiazdach

Edit: the deorbit took place around 4:45 and many people then reported the sight of flashes in the sky

The unlawful RIFs are coming. Here’s what we should do to prepare:

Some people in my department have started receiving termination letters that say something along the lines of, “The skills of this employee no longer align with the policies of the current administration” instead of the “poor performance” language used in others. This is language you would see with a RIF, but like everything else this administration has done, they’re going to go about RIFs unlawfully. This document provides a good overview of how RIFs are conducted lawfully and within the bounds of the USC: crsreports.congress.gov/produc of note: OPM can only provide guidance for RIF procedures, they cannot carry out RIFs themselves or tell agencies they need to conduct RIFs. To that point: Only individual agencies can determine if RIFs are necessary. RIFs cannot be used for conduct or performance-related reasons. RIFs must adhere to collective bargaining agreements. Employees affected by RIFs must be given 60 full days notice before being separated.RIF documentation must provide reasons for the action, its effective date, and how to appeal to the MSPB. If more than 50 employees will be RIFed from the same agency, the agency has to coordinate with state government. There’s a whole lot more to the process. Arm yourself with knowledge. Don’t be afraid to demand documentation, delay the process as long as possible, and make it clear you will appeal whether the RIF is lawful or not. A Reduction in Force is just that — a slow, targeted reduction when agencies decide certain expertise is no longer needed. It cannot lawfully be used for rushed, mass terminations. Stay strong, everyone.
