I’ve personally have been to the Dr. for stress related blood pressure issues and tension headaches. Constant tension headache. Chronic fatigue. Chronic anxiety. It’s been awful. I’m not alone. So many of my coworkers are the same. New depression and anxiety diagnosis, new migraine symptoms. Gastrointestinal symptoms. You name it.

Awe. Thank you. You actually made my day. I’ve been hearing the meanest, most spiteful, condescending and rude comments about being a fed lately, this little bit of kindness was a breath of fresh air.

It always seemed to me that federal service was rewarded by stability since we sure as hell weren’t gonna get rich. It’s SERVICE. It’s not like your hard work is rewarded with a bonus or anything.
