I retired today after 32 years. HR hasn't even assigned my package to be worked even though I submitted it 2 months ago. Back then they said first in first out. When I called to check on it they said they are working December retirees first.
The bill regarding excluding locality pay when calculating retirement is for new employees and not current ones. Please read the text I provided from the library congress’s website on this bill. “A bill to exclude locality adjustments from average pay for purposes of computing the amount of retirement annuities of new employees.”
Wow, let’s cut cost by targeting those who keep the government running. These bills wouldn’t be a problem if the initial bill’s covering locality pay and base pay were properly established. Thanks for the update!
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated!!

I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work.. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?
Workers today seem to think companies/government need to bend to their wishes, they don't. I was a fed for 40 years went to work in the office/airfield everyday, there was no such thing as "work/life balance". I am not saying supervisors ( I was one) should not try to cut some slack sometimes for situations ( family, illness ect..) that may happen to employees from time to time, but some of the entitled mentality is bogus. People are paid to work and the agencies have the right to dictate location and environment, the employees have a right to a work environment free of harassment/abuse/ and any other type of hostile work environment. If an employee is remote working in a lower cost area then the home office they should get location pay for their work area not the home office, that just makes sense. excluding locality pay should only happen to new employees
I agree with this. If my POD is Dallas/Dallas County, but I do more than 80% of my work as telework outside of that POD, then no. Locality should not apply. Yes, it sucks, but the idea is to make up for the cost of living in these localities. The "entitled" portion of your comment is just age. Things change, and my employer is not some beneficial god. They are buying my limited time of existence for a service I provide them. I'm sure folks from the 1700s would think you're some pampered baby with your access to food, medical care, and land ownership.
Who is lazy? Have you tested everyone and had measurable results? If people are lazy then what would returning to an office do? That's just more distractions.
Laughed as I read it. How many trainees actually certified and then the full workload hits..... 50% quit within a month. Most common reason, too much work and pressure.
Some of the best services I received were from those working at home. I don't need a person to be in an office building as long as they are doing their job at home.

How does cutting telework increase efficiency?
As long as it takes pressure off Congress, they don’t give a damn. Facts mean nothing.
It doesn’t
they are sad about empty offices they still have to pay for. or something. efficiency is a smokescreen
If they want 3 million quiet quitters keep it up. They spend money like drunken sailors but everything is the fault of federal workers.
The union will fight against this foolishness. Thank you for the video.
They just want your dues they could care less

They can’t even pass a budget, not worried about any of these bills. What it will do is completely change who controls the house and senate
Facts. I see a change in majority in 2026.
Please please offer early outs so I can leave and not be part of this circus that has come back to town.
Yes, please leave. That's the intent.
I wonder what they’d offer for early outs?
What good is an early buyout? I'm asking because I don't know. I heard a lump sum of $20,000? That doesn't sound like much.
Would the locality pay change apply to current employees or only new employees?
It would only impact new employees, like when they went from CRS to FERS
Great video, thanks
One seat majority in the house. Good luck.
These bills are an insult to the federal workforce, which is the point.
Remember guys there are different Agencies …. DVA DBA etc
Feds for the poverty line 👌🏻
Re-classification ( read about it if you are a grade 6 supposed to be promised a grade 7
Good luck passing any of these with a 2 seat majority in the House.
And get past the Union, it has more power that they realize.
Luigi!
Please offer VERA to every agency....
Better be a beefed up VERA so those very close to retirement can get their, FERS 1.1%, or else most will not entertain the notion.

“I suffered because the technology to do my job remotely didn’t exist. You all should as well!”
Summarized your much longer post. You’re welcome.
Lazy people need to go back to work!!!
Who is lazy? Have you tested everyone and had measurable results? If people are lazy then what would returning to an office do? That's just more distractions.
Jealous. much
Ridiculous

I was coming here to say the same thing. Thanks…
