Does not include the attrition from this year…….they teased us with hires…..never happened. What do you do?

My suggestion use the OT to benefit you and your family. I did a breakdown of my career of OT by president, of bush, obama, trump, biden, & trump. Trump was by far the most OT vs others. OT can be draining I get it. The people that complain the most dont work OT and believe in calling in sick every 2 weeks.

This administration has done a good job in giving this agency its last rites. It’s only a matter of time. I wish this 🤡 would spend less time at golfing and actually run this country.

And every 1-2% of staffing losses results in a 5-6% increase in the amount of work that has to be done two or three extra times due to the sloppy errors caused by the staffing cuts and increased productivity metrics used by the incompetent morons in the SES to try to paper over their impact. At this point the death spiral is probably unstoppable.
