General Discussion

Fed Service, wanting to serve whatever the department's mission is. The people around us are all on the same page, most of the time. And it IS a good environment, usually. Not only that, but while the pay is nothing to write home about, it's mostly better than a bottom ladder out in the business world.

I'm assuming this was one of the probies that got riffed. Last in, first out. Happens everywhere. *Used* to not happen in Fed Service. But, I guess this is what they mean by "running it like a business." Always check whether or not your definition of the job and contract points is the same as that being offered by the employer. You might find yourself unpleasantly surprised.

I miss my job with the DoD, serving the National Guard and Reserves in an education capacity. But I'm damned glad now I retired a few years ago. With my mouth, I'd have been the first out the door... if not shown the way to the prison!
