In the Marine reserves in the 90s we (Marines and corpsmen) could slots for airborne and ranger. It was infrequent, but it happened.
I got it. But then again, I can read ;)
Just spent an hour trying to get an appointment for windshield repairs.
All three individuals I had talk to were remote.
Talking to #3 was like talking on HF, talk, listen to the echo, then another short talk.
Remote only works if comms are good.
Funny reading about non-existent office space; yet papers were saying the Government is paying rent on empty buildings in DC.
I wonder who owns those buildings?

"One of the employees had a salary of over $220,000 per year, according to the VA."
That's the average annual salary of a 'SES-2' which is essentially the civilian version of a 2-Star General.
So the VA is quick to say "hey, fuck right off Staff Sergeant Snuffy, we aren't going to pay for your bad back" but they have NO problem paying an SES-2 so that we can all be preached at about how gender is a spectrum
I feel like there is probably a metric shit ton of non-supervisory-GS14's in the pile of bullshit as well.
The legion of denigrate pedos and mentally ill jackasses on the left side of the political spectrum have surely butt fucked us all much deeper and waaay harder than many of us will ever know.

also only works if the employees and their management are good.

HR and I were discussing how remote works...because I'm fully remote from everyone now. My boss was fully remote. She works at a satellite office but has been WFH for a few months for a variety of reasons.
Remote only works when the leader has significant capacity to manage their personnel. Yes, you 100% need to babysit a significant majority of the adult working population. Mind, that the office is a crutch for a lot of bad leaders. And many of them can't manage people well in the office either.

President Trump pulling out all the stops to reduce the federal workforce.
Eight months worth of severance pay, even.

So, Biden pardoned him for war crimes and subverting the chain of command? Like it was fairly public, perhaps 'ol Bob Woodward shouldn't have published it? But I know he likes counting his bennies.

There is more to this, but they're not saying. Shit came put of the ocean and tracked a Coastie ship. This frigging stinks to high heaven.

Somebody I know mentioned it, and then sent me a link to the guidance OPM pushed out like an hour ago.
If I'm reading it right, if you're in a fireable position and resign by February 6th, you'll go on paid administrative leave for the next 8 months before peacing out in late September.
It also said they're leaving it up to the agencies to decide whether or not they'll place any restrictions on deferrers getting outside employment while on paid leave.
Here's the link:

My company was 100% remote. We were structured as a Results Only Work Environment ( Results-Only Work Environment | Encyclopedia.com ). I refused to pay for office space for an IT consulting business. The biggest problem we had was finding people for technical positions that were capable of working from home without a set schedule. These were very senior technical people (Architect level) with a minimum of 15 years hands-on experience in their discipline and a proven record of success. The type of people you would think would be self-starters and focused on their tasks.
I went through an average of 8 people (not interviews, actual hires) to find one that made it past their first commitment... Literally all they had to do was to complete their tasks when they said they would have them done. But they just couldn't seem to make it happen. There were too many people that needed the structure of daily office hours.
Time to double-dip! Contracting isn't employment. Take the leave and find a contract job.Somebody I know mentioned it, and then sent me a link to the guidance OPM pushed out like an hour ago.

So...why did a retired General have a security detail?
Iran has active assassination plans against him, Bolton, Pompeo, and a few others
