There aren’t enough desks and parking spaces for this stupid shyt. And if I have to go back in I’m taking that commute time off my work day. 1 hour spent in the car between Tyson’s and the Potomac smh
Federal Employees, how ya'll feeling?

They won’t risk Virginia by gutting most jobs there but I def believe they will target jobs black people often do and ship them further south or to the Midwest for white conservatives.
Decided to make the switch away from BCBS.. MHBP is cheaper for pretty much the same sort of coverageAnybody downgrade on health insurance? 13% increase
I’m keeping everything the same but smh with only a 2% pay increase. Fortunately I’m also moving over a step

It’s so much worse now. Construction and all the other companies that did RTO. You pretty much have to leave your office by 2:00 to beat the rush.
It got to a point where if I wasn’t in the car by 3:00 leaving then I would just stay until 6:30 and take that time off later in the week. shyt is annoying.
And this is why DOGE was formed.
Elon and Vivek probably aren't well versed on Federal contracting if they think labor will give you huge cost savings. These Federal contract companies are known for skimping on headcount and salaries. The minute a Federal contractor makes too much money they'll fire you for someone cheaper. Job security was non-existent on most contracts for years.

the government took in 4 trillion dollars this year, and spent 6 trillion. we aren't at war, it's not a pandemic; this bullshyt is not sustainable. there's absolutely zero accountability for govt spending
i dont know what the answer is, and vivek and elon are bad people. i hope they dont fukk productive people out of jobs. but the status quo isnt working, either. im 34; i dont want to be told that social security is dried up when its my turn
they better start with the pentagon

They know, especially Elon. This is about destroying the federal government and looting the spoils. Deficit reduction, if it happens, is a side benefit.

What's going to be funny is if they do all this DOGE stuff by Trump still deficit spends to help the economy. These clowns are trying to wreck the shop not restore some magical fiscal discipline neither side has had since Clinton.
I think it's all for show because this new DOGE agency doesn't have any real power. Even when the Feds cut spending during Obama all they did was cut headcount and move money around. The only savings I could see was contractors salaries went down. But the price of those contracts didn't.

Traffic is bad in the DMV since I moved. Depending where I’m working. Taking 295 in the mornings to get into the city is always bad. 495S coming back to Alexandria. Gets bad around 3. It never fails. Hell I was working last night coming back on 495 Sunday 330 pm traffic.
Private sector jobs looking kinda sweet now huh

66 westbound was standstill at 4PM yesterday which is crazy. I don't miss taking 495 to get back to Annandale. Without fail, if you were on at 530AM, I could pull up to the Pentagon at 545-550AM. Leave at 531AM, I get there maybe at 620-630AM
