In the 90's Army Guard guys getting anything beyond MOSQ was almost unheard of. The Ranger qualified O's I knew either picked up the school while on AD or were in a hold status at Benning and the NGB liaison yelled some version of "who wants to start on Monday." In the 90's, the 53rd BDE's Ranger qualified CGO's were mostly Guard bums. No pre-Ranger back then, a lot were just handed orders following IOBC or something similar. We struggled to find slots for our SOT-A's.
Fuck Bill Clinton and his peace dividend.
Can no one here take a joke?
Wow. Thereiswas BIG money in the DEI grift.
Department of Veterans Affairs places 60 DEI employees on leave with salaries totaling more than $8M
More than $14M. And that's just one agency.

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.also only works if the employees and their management are good.
From CNBC link:
The Trump administration is offering millions of federal workers the option to accept buyouts through a government-wide “deferred resignation” program if they resign by Feb. 6.
Those who accept the offer will receive pay and benefits through Sept. 30, according to a draft email obtained Tuesday by NBC News.
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.
President Trump pulling out all the stops to reduce the federal workforce.
Eight months worth of severance pay, even.

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.Anyone receive the Fork in the Road email?
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.HR and I were discussing how remote works...because I'm fully remote from everyone now. My boss was fully remote.

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.
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.
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.
