I wouldn’t have posted this if I were you. You are basically telling people your DH conned the govt. telework is not supposed to work like that. He is an unethical guy.

It’s not unethical if your boss does not give you more work.

That’s so lame. You husband’s behavior, whether you like it or not, was unethical.

Eh. You make life work for you. He’d have been staring into space otherwise.

Lol. I bet he was really good at that. Are you proud of him because he basically got paid without doing the work?

He did the work, how are you missing that?

It's not my H, I am a different poster. But there are busy times and not busy times in every job. Also, if you are getting the job done what is the issue.

Yes I love my job. I'm at an engineering/regulations agency. I will say that the hardest part about doing it right now is the response in the news. Reporters constantly think we're hiding things and covering up data. You wouldn't believe the amount of FOIA requests and how much time it's taking our engineers to answer.

Over here at CIA, we're happy, despite everything.

I think it is mostly bad for folks that have policy jobs. At my agency, the current administration selected a leader that would have been the pick of a more traditional R administration as well. I do not agree with many of the policy decisions, but that is not because of the crazy at the top. That said, I moved to a completely politically neutral job within my agency and I am happy because I work with a great team of people and do work I find interesting.

I think the folks that have it hardest are likely scientists, policy staff at agencies whose missions are being undermined such as at the Department of Education and attorneys in places like DOJ Civil Rights.

Same, it’s boring but family friendly.

Same as always. Not great but not bad.

Sure, why?

Anyone in the civil service feeling good right now?
