Federal Employees, how ya'll feeling?

[Lucky_Lefty]

For years congress have been talking about:

1) Getting rid of step increases. (For those of you in GS pay scale. I'm not anymore.)
2) Changing the pension calculation from your high-3 salary years to a high-5 (which effectively lowers your pension).
3) Reducing our eliminating cost of living adjustments (COLA).
4) Increasing contributions to FERS (which lowers our pay).,

House Republicans Propose Cuts to Federal Employee Pay and Benefits

The 2025 budget proposal from leaders of the Republican Study Committee includes pay reform, changes to some pension calculations, reducing or eliminating COLAs for retirees, and reducing the government's contribution to FEHB premiums

There's a proposal every year but it gets turned down. But there's full control now so who knows.

Man I saw where they’re gonna take locality pay if you WFH 20-30% of the time per pay period. Remote workers will be fukked. Think it’s in the Senate bill some republican just introduced a few weeks back. I noticed this week, traffic was hell and not just on Wednesdays and Thursdays like usual in the District and NoVA.

I'm using use or lose leave as well. But I'm keeping it right at 240 hours for the new leave year. You get a check for how many hours of annual leave you have left.

And yes, There are some people on my own team that I wonder how the hell they ever made it that far.

And I think that's the Schedule F they are talking about. Making federal employees "at will" employees...meaning fired without cause.

Which is horrible because they then got The Boer and Brown nose Vivek doing a study to justify firing everyone.

They talked about moving over 100k federal employees out the DMV. Stress on that hasn't hit yet. I do have a friend in the Dept. of Education and I'm worried about him.

I also want to say this again Trump did not get elected to do austerity. Most of the idiots who voted for him did it for sexism or racism or their algorithm told them he would lower food prices.

Austerity hurts people and people didn’t vote for that and there are A LOT of people who are not going to take this lying down. Including MAGA who in their infinite stupidity will just blame the stooge trump appointed as the reason they are suffering.

We’re seeing inflation on a global level which means America can’t just undo it. Add to that massive layoffs and you got yourselves the worst economy possible…. Stagflation.

The primary reason this republicans and conservatives hate government agencies and so called bureaucrats is because they employ a lot of black people and it is how black people get to move into the middle class and get ahead in society, they have already dismantled affirmative action which has led to less black people getting into colleges and universities, now they want to ensure those who are college graduates and are eligible never have the chance to get employed as well.
They want black people back to the 50s and 60s where they were working the counter, bus drivers, menial jobs and never could challenge them credibly on serious issue, their dream society is one where a white man calls all the shots and still refers to black men as boys.

Think bigger. What they really hate is regulations impacting big businesses. They feel like they should be able to do what they want. You have heard the talking point smaller government, less regulations. As far as race, they really don't care. Once you leave the DMV the number of black federal employees drop.

I’m a contractor and I’m on a federal construction project and I’m considered “key personnel.” This project is already funded so I’ll be good for a minute however, I have some overseas opportunities that I’m debating about taking with this incoming administration.

I'm a supervisor for air traffic control. We're short staffed anyway so I'm straight. Now the bargaining union members are sweating a bit. They're up for a new contract negotiations next year so it's looking a bit spooky. But the worst part is that a lot of them voted for Trump. Because prices would be lowered and immigrants or something lol

I wonder if Greenbelt, MD is still getting the FBI Building. Trump killed it the first time around. Biden approved it last year. Not sure where it is in the process.

That’s what I’m truly shocked by the most. I thought by and large the public was better than this. I was obviously mistaken. Everyone will suffer.
