Sometimes it turns off- sometimes it doesn’t. My manager has decided to nickel and dime us if we don’t say good “good morning” on teams at the very start of our tour. I waste 10 minutes of my day waiting for Teams to load up every morning. I could’ve spent those 10 minutes in bed with my eyes closed but instead I’m just waiting for teams. Please share any methods to keep my computer on overnight for the sake of #efficiency.

Can anyone verify if our laptops can be traced to where (office/home) we log in? I was told that when they upgraded windows there was a location tracker put it. When I checked my Microsoft account on line it pinged in DC. Does anyone know about this? Or is this just another rumor?

The IRS cut about 25% of its workforce, which naturally reduced the total hours worked. But the employees who stayed started working significantly more overtime so much so that it nearly canceled out the hours lost from all those departures. So they'd rather pay time a half, so efficient.

Exactly what the title says and they’re just drained and don’t give a shit what happens.

Just wondering if there are any IT rejects who are still waiting on assignment? I did not move to the TS detail due to a long trip that was already planned. I thought the boss implied a few weeks ago that we’d all be assigned somewhere. 6 months of no work is ludicrous.

Looks like they still offer the same TODs here with the caveat being that based off "operational needs" they may move people. I work swing and hope it stays that way dince that's what I selected for my top three preferences

-Overall atmosphere.
-How is requesting time off? Easily granted, or not so much.
-Does mgmt work with you on the approved telework exceptions to allow telework when needed?

I’m trying to understand the reasoning from the management side. If medical documentation has already been submitted and the RAC is still reviewing or coordinating, why deny temporary/interim telework for 90 days instead of allowing it while the final determination is being made?

I need to change my Direct Deposit. Can I do it on Self Serve in MYEpp or do I need to use IRworks?

Also the paycheck I get this saturday, do I still get it in my old bank since I'm doing the change today?

Is anyone else noticing that frontline managers and leaders seem more motivated lately to resolve cases at the field level rather than send them to Appeals?

I’m curious whether this shift is being driven by new changes in performance metrics, concerns about cycle time and efficiency, or perhaps a perception that Appeals may be more likely to concede certain issues.

“…the IRS is “forever barred and precluded” from pursuing “examinations” of Trump, “related or affiliated individuals,” and related trusts and businesses.”

The lawlessness at the agency is beyond absurd and I’ve run out of appropriate and applicable adjectives.

Is this something that can be changed with new administration and leadership because this is sketchy….very, very sketchy.

The great lowering of performance evaluations (which totally isn’t happening per the chicken shit SES motherfuckers) has come to my neck of the agency. What exactly are the options to appeal if you disagree and want to formally pursue?

Does anyone have any experience taking paternity leave and just working 1-2/days per week? And getting paid parental leave for the other days?

Hello all, Do anyone have an idea of which of the TOD’s times that maybe offered?

For those who have left the service recently, how long after resigning did it take you receive your annual leave payout? I know during DRP the process was significantly delayed, but curious if it’s gotten faster. TIA!
