After nearly a year of dedication and hard work, I was told last week that my employment will be terminated —just 10 days before my probation period ended. No real reason, just bullshit claims about my performance that even my manager wasn’t aware of until I told them. This wasn’t about my work—it was a decision made from the top, thanks to the current administration’s nonsense. I’m not disappointed—I’m pissed. The fact that my own manager had no idea until I brought it up says everything. On to better things, but this is absolute bullshit.
I rec’d the email Friday right after close of business here on the West coast. I literally was 10 days away from the end of my probationary year. Letter claimed poor performance, even though I have my PPMA on file saying I met and exceeded expectations on more than one tier with an overal met expectations rating…smh all just straight BS. Letter says I will be assigned to “administrative leave” until my final day. I definitely plan to apply an appeal, but I am so pissed right now, even if it is rescinded, I don’t even want to continue working under this administration. I don’t trust the appeal system at all and also even with appeal pending, I won’t get paid after my final day, is that right? So I’m already looking at other jobs and applying in the private sector. Unlike most, my previous federal work is still in demand and I made sure to keep all my licensure and national certifications up to date, even though they were expiring. My gut told me to keep ’em current…and I’m glad I did!
They revoked my access to my work email and all the internal .gov shit this morning. I now have no access to any work email or any .gov websites. They gave us an email to us for all inquiries, but all it does is give you a “ticket” and talking bout someone will get back to you. When I sent direct emails to certain staff, I get the same response “you have to speak to your immediate manager”. I only have access to my immediate manager via her personal cell. I could email straight to her work email, but I have no way of knowing she got it unless she says so.
I was smart enough to dowload every paystub from the payroll site (although, you can actually go to the site on any computer, at least until they revoke that access), all my performance reviews and personnel files. I managed to send an email to them yesterday via work email and personal email. A “ticket has been opened” message was sent. Yeah, I’m sure they are already bombarded with inquiries. Won’t hold my breath about getting a response before my last day 5 days from today…smh.
At this point, I don’t even fuq’n care. I just want to make sure I get my last fuq’n paycheck…and they tell me where to send this fuq’n equipment and business CC.
I’ve already packed up all they shit in original boxes (other than the keyboard box, I can’t fine that shit). They can take all they monitors and they laptop and kiss my Black ass!
I tried to reach out to multiple people including my current mgr and I understand they are just doing what they have to do, but it’s pissing me off that I have yet to receive any further instructions or anything else since Friday!
