Leave USACE for State Job

I’ve been with USACE as an Engineer for 15+ years. I’m a GS-13 with a great potential to be a GS-14 in less than a year.

USACE hasn’t really been targeted through all this recent change. We have additional metrics to meet but business hasn’t changed much.

I was offered a job with the state. There is a pay cut of about 17%. However, take home pay will only go down about $250 per PP because the Insurance is way cheaper and Pension is 7%. The state is At-will so there’s that. There is plenty of work.

Would I be crazy to leave USACE now for a state job? I started at USACE straight out of college.

New Investigation of Feds for Unpaid Taxes

Comer is launching an investigation of Federal Employees who owe unpaid taxes.

How can you even get by without filing taxes? I didn’t even think that was possible. Don’t just ignore this. File your taxes and at the minimum sign up for a payment plan to get them payed.

Ignoring the problem won’t make it go away.

Maxiflex and Core Hrs

With the dissolving of the CBA, has any other District taken away Maxiflex time and changed/eliminated Core hrs?

Any major changes happening with the CBA gone?
