IYKYK. We’re under a continuing resolution, so it’s not like there’s any money for buyouts, it’s not possible to pay what they’re proposing. It’s not severance, nothing about you getting to stop working but still getting paid. Be very thoughtful, talk to your union reps if you’re in a bargaining unit. Nobody be rash.

So… things are getting strange and unpleasant and unpredictable. I’m excited about discussion in the sub, good with disagreement, I think I’ve deleted like 2 comments in the whole time I’ve been here. Say what you want, by and large. But… I’m going to ask folks to assume positive intent and refrain from personally attacking folks. Not usually a problem here, honestly it’s pretty quiet, but I’m getting the feeling that quiet isn’t in the cards for the next few years.

Same rules that (usually) apply at the agency - you can disagree passionately, but ultimately we’re all on the same team and working towards a common goal.

Every once in a while the name in the news post is someone I know that’s being put in a really shitty position. Appreciate y’all understanding.
