Most government jobs can be replaced by AI. Healthcare and military perhaps not soon but almost all administrative jobs certainly.
Yes! The student loan forgiveness for working for the government is real I literally cried tears of joy when it happened.
Yes! Same here I got to my car and started shouting tears of joy!
$103k of my student loans were forgiven this year. Im so grateful the nightmare has ended.
In my experience Irs frontline management will deny any request or leave until you show them the opm guidelines. Most employees just give up.
Yup!
A lot of the benefits mentioned are also provided in private sectors, except student loan forgiveness.
Not all Depts have wellness time. FAA which falls under DOT does not offer wellness time.
If you can get permission, divide the 3hr improvement time to work out for 1hr. 45min workout, 15min shower. That would use 30 mins a day, or 2.5hrs a week.
Oftentimes government agencies are poorly run organizations with leadership that doesn't know how to lead, are filled with people that have been hired by friends that "hook" them up instead of hiring based on merit, and have very high turnover leading to the remaining staff being overworked.
There are surely benefits to working for the federal government but there are also plenty of negatives. It just depends on what you are willing to accept. I've been tentatively offered four times, thrice after interviewing and once via direct hire authority. I ended up declining all four after experiencing unprofessionalism during the onboarding process or after interacting with staff within the specific agency departments. My tolerance for unprofessionalism is very low as is poor leadership qualities of supervisors (being retired military probably biases towards what a good leader is) and poor organizational culture.
You just need to prioritize what you are willing to accept and put up with and make a choice for yourself. Personally, I'm less worried about how much I make and more interested in job satisfaction and team dynamics as i already receive pretty good retirement pay and healthcare. As such, I have yet to find the right fit that meets my standards.
I do not want to come across as being judgmental, but you refusing those opportunities was NOT SMART. If you do not like federal government jobs, then be there just to get something they offer that will end up benefiting you. For instance, I am in a state government job. I can already see where the contracting from Federal is going to have me work one helluva job, BUT if I stay there 6 years, I get a pension...A PENSION. Worst, I come out with being able to put State Government on my resume and employers moving me to the top of the pile. It is something unique.
People miss this because they write off jobs too quickly.
Edit: I just noticed you stated you are retired military. Yeah, you already served the government enough and can draw a pension.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 it's all good. Like I said, if my situation were different I might have taken one of those positions. As things are, however, I am looking for the right fit and prioritizing 1. Team dynamics, 2. Workplace culture, 3. high leadership competency, 4. and belief in the mission/job satisfaction.
Without these things I being present I do not feel it is worth it to "unretire." For some it may be different, but I want to look forward going to work, not dread it like some do.
Excellent advice 🤭
I will say with the PSLF Program that you can also do the IDR along with it.
No wellness time at my agency, remarks whenever you want take time off
It's not just Government jobs that offer these perks (including student loan repayments). A lot of Non-profit hospitals offer the same things and they even qualify for the PSLF student-loan forgiveness program. I work for a County hospital (now) but I did get these perks while working for Kaiser and Stanford,too.
A few things.. wellness leave is agency specific. Child care subsidy is agency specific and normally for lower paid employees. You cannot combine break with lunch periods. Loan repayment program is often limited. Most job series will not pay for education unless extremely beneficial to the government itself. That said, gov job has been steady for me. Do I love it? No, but my family and I are doing well!
The wellness one i heard about from the VA but im not sure the IRS is up to speed on the same thing.
Cafe part as well, im on 2nd shift and the cafe closes 2p and i start at 3p.
And our breaks are set at times...so its definitely research needed for these options
Excused absence for fitness activities can vary agency to agency; therefore, you should discuss this matter with your local HR or Work/Life office for a definitive answer.
Each department or agency has discretion to excuse employees from their duties without loss of pay or charge to leave.

What’s the form for the wellness program?
In my country state service is called "Nursery" since you're protected like a little child. Yes, pay might not be top notch but all considered it's nice. Idk why Am I watching this since I obviously would never become a US fed gov't employee. That said, it seems that working for the US gov't seems to be a most humane or "European" type of employment in the US, with sick leaves, counseling, pension etc.
Thanks for watching anyway!
@@armandcuret1 Funny, I was writing this while watching a visiting USS Gerald Ford through my window, so maybe that soft power kicked in and ignited a wish to work for the Federal gov't. Anyways, really enjoy the content.
Interesting! Well, I'm glad my video came up. The USS Gerald Ford is impressive looking. Unfortunately, I will not have the opportunity to notice any naval ships through my window today.
Kind of like voting leave and blood donation leave in state government.
where im at u have to fill out a separate leave request for every PT hour, ur lunch break is 30 mins unpaid that u cant skip even if u dont eat lunch, making the day 8.5 hours long and theres no combing it with ur two 15 minute breaks
That's pretty rigid. Sounds like they run a tight ship over there.
Is this with private or government? In the state government I am in, I can elect at orientation to take an hour lunch or half hour. My normal working hours is a 7.5 hour shift. If I decide to take a 30, I can get off work at 8 hours.
I really think any employer should offer this by you signing a form to state that you waive lunch. Then again, I am sure private would take full advantage and FORCE their employees to not take lunch.
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 federal government
@@wewhoareabouttodiesaluteyo9303 its a military organization so they like to pretend ur on active duty. its "encouraged" to come in 15-30 minutes early to "get ready for your shift" lol. i never do tho cuz fk that. i'm already putting in 2 hours a day unpaid time when u consider my unskippable lunch break and 1.5h of fighting traffic. dont need to make it 2.5
Is there a publication or something that explains the wellness time you mentioned up to 3 hrs per week?

Isn't the loan repayment only for government backed loans? If you take out the loan through a regular bank then you aren't covered.
Also, I believe you can set up daycare services to be paid with pretax money.
Private education loans aren’t eligible for the program. I should’ve mentioned it. Thanks.
I’d like to hear more about the financial counseling that the gov offers.
The program usually offers practical financial
information and financial planning tools.
And a lot of the material can be sent
to you via email. Also, if your issue
involves debt management, you can be referred
to a consumer credit counseling service.
I would avoid this. I read somewhere that bad credit or even a hint of financial trouble could remove you from your government job. I am not sure how true that is.
Is the 3 hours of PT, government wide or command specific? Did know there was a form for this. I will have to look that up.
It depends on your federal agency/office. There are a lot of different policies out there. But it is worth asking about.
@@armandcuret1 Thanks! I am definitely going to look into this.
Heres a question i'm not sure if you covered it in a past video or not, I remember one video you talked about getting a pension after 5 years being in the system. do they base that off your service comp date for when you first entered the GS system? or is it calculated via another way? reason I asked, I took about a year away from the GS system so I left the system in 2017. I got back into the system in 2018 and I was given credit for when I left the system in 2017.
It's creditable years. I too left in 2007. At that time I had about 10 years. I came back in 2018. They adjust your SCD. When I came back in 2018, they subtracted however many years/months/days I had from that 2018 date (to give me credit for the time I previously did). My NEW SCD became that date.
@@fauxmixedhair so if I am understanding, it's based off the SCD for when you start or whatever credit was given from prior service before the pension can start building?
All of the time you were actually a government employee will count. If there's a break in service, HR should recompute your SCD (Service Computation Date) to reflect the exact number of days/months/years you have worked. It should all be creditable towards a federal pension.
@@ChrisLyon567 You will be given a new SCD. That new SCD will give you credit for your prior service. Ask your HR for your Statement of Prior Service Worksheet. This is the worksheet my HR used to do the calculations. It will show you how they came up with your new SCD.
@@armandcuret1 awesome thank you. is there a way to track the pension and see where one stands with it? maybe a website or login somewhere?
Do you think it's a good idea to get a federal job and then JOIN the reserves? Would this be an issue, since you are expected to leave for quite a while to do boot camp and training?
People have done it and it can work out. It depends on your situation.
The fitness program he is talking about is only for new employees and lasts only 3 months. After that you do not get paid time to work out any more. He is incorrect. HR briefed everyone in our command that this is NOT a permanent fitness program.

He's not wrong; my agency has it available for all FT staff, new or seasoned. But like he said, it depends on the agency.
Postal Service excluded?
