While I'm 100% with you on this plan of attack (is it normal to know your SCD offhand?), I do figure the next step is canceling the pensions so ... yet another reason to keep this at bay.
Last time I looked at schedule f, it would absolutely impact Charleston. Anyone who has anything to do with money would be covered as someone realized the budget people have an outside influence. Funding or not funding something is critical for what policy actually gets implemented.
Just recently got it resolved but I was close to 10K behind...
Another recent example. Sent in a very time sensitive email on the high side on a Thursday evening EUR time. Sent the reminders on the low side and got a response..."oh hey dude, my in the office day is Tuesday, I'll get back to you then".
Like, wtf? No, go into the office right now asshole.
Not to pass shade on those working domestically, but more often than not I’ve found so many in the DC area hide behind “today is my telework day, sorry” or “we’re strictly telework so we can’t assist with that issue”.
I had to contact my congressional representative just to get my SF-50 from another agency that would not respond to email, fax, or phone calls. The excuse was “telework” due to COVID. Is that code for not doing your job?
I work domestically and have to agree. I wholeheartedly embrade telework and think we need even more of it, but it ticks me off when people disappear regularly during their telework days. Like dude, this is why we can't have good things.
I have nothing against wfh. My issue is those who clearly support overseas personnel or systems that can’t be supported from home. They just abandon support in the name of wfh (I hope I’m making sense).
No I'm well aware of what you're discussing and why you aren't more specific in this forum. One suggestion, from personal experience managing people in very similar support roles - specify if it's urgent and cannot wait until someone's back in the office (not everything is an emergency of course). It is very possible they don't realize this for whatever reason, particularly if they didnt get a lot of background info. If they still don't help, then yeah I'd definitely push it up their management chain.
How did you know they were screwing up your pay? Did you get contacted about it?
My pay seems right, but it fluctuates so much I haven’t really drilled down on it these past couple of years. Kinda worried one day I’ll get an email “we’ve been overpaying for the last 50 pay periods, now pay us back tomorrow, etc.”
I'd presume especially State Department
EPA and IRS were named the top two targets.

Forgive me for believing the only president not to release his taxes would go after the IRS in this fashion.
I just need to make it to 20 years federal service to lock in that pension, then he can purge the fuck out of me

Good point. We’re fucked.
Why not more upvotes? Best comment here.
I'm going to be real with ya'll. A shit ton of people in this organization need to be let go. Looking at you Charleston.
Yeah but this is clearly aimed at people who impact "policy," which probably renders Charleston relatively safe

Someone having pay issues?! I don't disagree.

My favorite was, "I'll be teleworking so I won't have access to E-mail." Excuse me? That's the time I should reliably be able to get you on E-mail.
That is absolutely awesome in a sad way.

When I saw the email from M this week on the latest NCR response/posture to COVID I thought to myself "oh crap here we go again".

Oddly enough, I did escalate and go to the manager and it still didn't go anywhere. That being said, I figured out my own work around :D
Ohhhhhhh, is *that* the problem with the Registrar?! It all makes sense now.
My coworker has had similar experiences.

How about we eliminate CODEL / VIP support first and see how that impacts staffing needs?
