A lot of my coworkers are taking the fork offer

You should be fired for working two jobs. Good riddance.

never underestimate the power of federal workers' spite, amanda!


We are resilient AF.

Honestly, the biggest takeaway I hope people get from this is that federal employees are gritty and committed—despite the narrative. We do a lot with a little, put up with enormous loads of BS, and handle ourselves pretty well.


As a non fed who in the past has questioned the productivity of feds (after seeing some bad apples), I have a fresh perspective and am rooting for you all! Stuck it to them.

Is your title “Gender Ideologies”?

No, I’m actually on detail as Assistant Deputy Assistant Director for Gender Ideologies in our DEIA office, which has 1 billion employees!


Correction: Assistant to the Deputy Assistant Director for Gender Ideologies.

I don’t understand this running joke about Scamanda. I didn’t watch the show.

Yes, stealing someone else’s opportunity to earn a wage is cruel.

Jokes on them because this wasn’t actually an “offer” of anything. And I’ll believe this is actually an offer when someone posts the actual paperwork involved.

This is me. I was planning on resigning in March anyway. Will they pay me the full 8 months? Doubtful. But then I’m no worse off. If they do then it’s a bonus.


I would never do this if I was going to retire in 6 weeks. You risk messing up your retirement paperwork just to get a few weeks off? No way.

None of mine are and are going to stay now to spite these jerks.

Don’t mess up your retirement. It’s not guaranteed if you take this scam of an offer.

As a fed, you're not allowed to moonlight.

Thank you for this.

Part of me is really feeling the "we can do anything with Spite." But the biggest part of me is sad and scared for the people we serve.

We're the plumbing and electrical wiring of this country's house. It's often hidden, and a little unglamorous, and when you have to think about us, it's usually because something went wrong. Of course you are going to be mad -- the promise was that we had a well-run country that would be your springboard for entrepreneurship, raising a family, doing hard years of training and work to move up the economic ladder; heck -- even just have a picnic at a state park without contaminated water.

You were supposed to be able to buy food without cutting into meat and finding abscesses. You were supposed to be able to count on a trip to see family without being killed in a plane crash.

All of that is work. Up to 2 million people are involved in that work, one way or the other. You know how there's an arsehole in your family, say, one for every 20 or 30 in the extended family, if you're lucky? We've got them, too. Sorry.

But you know how your own house falls apart without maintenance? This country does, too.

It's NOT heroic. It's NOT that we are fabulous exciting saints. We're people who fill in spreadsheets, and make small decisions, and drive to places to do inspections, and order parts, and all of it. And if we aren't there, the place is likely to fall down.

There are ways to make changes, improve efficiency, all of it. But this yahoo is setting the place on fire.



I hate this.

I am going to keep doing my job. I hope it all works out. I don't know what else to do.
